Hello Everybody, I am trying to acertain some facts about the number of nurses that the Air Force gains/loses each year..the total number of nurses serving in the Air Force would also be nice if I could find it. I am trying to find this information to see if the recession will hurt my chances of getting into the Air Force (too many applicants). The following are the numbers that I have found so far. Feel free to add to this, Especially statistics regarding fiscal year 2010 recruitment numbers.
Thanks,
Fiscal Year 2009
158 NTP Nurses trained/joined
284 Total Nurses Accessed, Goal of 350 (81 percent)
267 (almost 10 percent) Nurses Separated or retired from the Air Force
