Air force nursing 2018

Published

As an applicant for the Air Force Nurse Corp 2018 I thought I would open a public thread for people to talk and ask questions. I was non-select in 2017 due to lack of time in a trauma center, but reapplying again for this FY2018 as ER/Trauma RN. This time I got some more certifications and experience under my belt and ready to move forward.

Submitted for july board and we are still waiting.

We were originally supposed to have results August 30th. All I can say is just be patient. It's a long process

I would say that they long term care experience is probably not helpful. I'm not really sure if they look at dialysis nursing as acute care or not. I don't think they would take someone as an experienced nurse without any inpatient hospital experience. Outpatient stuff is usually not looked at very highly.
