Hello everyone! I am a surgical ICU nurse and I have decided to apply for the Air Force Reserves as a flight nurse. I am currently working on my MSN in management and plan to apply for CRNA school next year after I complete my MSN. I have been a nurse since '08 working in many different settings (management, ICU, clinic, etc.)
I recently submitted my paperwork, along with all of my personal documentation, to the recruiter and have an interview set for this Wednesday to set up my physical and interview with the CNO of flight nursing.
I was wondering if any one has experienced this process, recent applicants would be ideal, and would be willing to supply me with any insight that they may have?
They are electronic but you can print them out. I work for the government so they automatically updated my status but you comissoning paperwork should work.
The only thing it impacts SERE and some other not so important things (airfield access card, etc). You can go to the other schools without a security clearance.
I have a question, I just found out that my Class III physical is scheduled for July 15th and I am scheduled for a PAP smear and women's exam on the 24th of July, do I start looking for another doctor that will get me in sooner or they can wait for my results,. Better yet, would they do a pap smear during examination?
So how has your package come along? I submitted mine in April and I was just told it has been routed through the NAF. I'm a current TR as well and transferring from a maintenance sq to the AES. Any info would help. Thanks.
mrs27smith, ADN, BSN, MSN, so what came of your journey? I read that your recruiter is in Texas. What base/unit will you be going to? I have recently submitted my package to go to the 433 AES. Hope I will find out more information soon; been going through this process and jumping through hurdles since Dec '14.
Hello All,I am an RN BSN with 5 years ED and 10 years OR experience (total 15 years experience) and prior service (13 plus years). I called the AF healthcare recruiter about my interest in joining AF reserves flight nurse or Perioperative nurse and was informed that I was not eligible based on my age. Based on what I've read, 51 yo - 13 prior service would make me 38. Any insight on thi this? Please advise. Thank youRob
