Hi all! So I didn't get selected for the September 2014 boards and am applying for them again this year....which let me tell you, the months seem to be dragging by! Anyways, when would you guys suggest I start contacting my recruiter again? The recruiter I had last go round got moved to be the physician recruiter, so I will have a new one this time through. I remember contacting him around April last year, but didn't know how long I should wait this time to contact him.

I'm trying to remain more hopeful this time around. I'll have another year experience under my belt and changed jobs to a hospital/unit that does everything...surgeries, ECMO, ect. so I'm hoping that helps. And I"m taking my certification test in August, so hoping I pass that! This whole waiting this is taking way too long!

I was selected for the airforce PMHNP scholarship program in late may. I am currently a student at Drexel University, but switching to Rutgers DNP Program in the fall and the airforce is going to cover the tabâ˜º Super excited. Any one else recently selected for a NP position or scholarship with info about what to expect next?

I am applying for the FQ nursing AF program as well.

What specialty are you applying for?

I'm A FQ FNP submitting a packet for the current board this month. Congrats NP hopeful on your acceptance!! I did the old fashioned go to school then consider AF route so no clue on scholarship but we will see about the selection in a few weeks. The only interview I had was a very nice Chief Nurse who kept saying how competitive everything is and she would have liked to see my CCRN and PCCN certifications (lapsed). Civ world vs. AF as an NP. I signed up for my CCRN-K test and also for a Cert for Tob Treatment Specialist in Nov. If youre doing PMHNP and can get away for three days that tobacco cert might be very useful. ( FSU med school). Apparently they like certifications, or so I was told. Good luck and that CCRN should keep me busy until I hear back on the selection:)

I applied to the USAF NTP 2015. Has anyone received any notice about their selection status? If so, does anyone kno the likelihood of getting picked from the alternate select group?

_zoubisoubisou_ · Sep 5, 2015

what are the chances of getting overseas orders as a FQ, new AF nurse? I know it depends on the need, but is it unheard of?

It depends on your alternate number. If you're #1 or 2, then you have a decent chance. Otherwise, I'd say next to none. Your recruiter will know your alternate number.

If you put Anchorage, on your list you'll be very likely to get it. Your chances of getting Italy or Germany off the bat are fairly slim.
