ANG versus AFR?

Published

Specializes in ICU Rapid Response.

First off this website has been a wealth of info for me as I have been deciding on trying for a commission. Thanks to all the contributors!! I am about a year away from completing my BSN. I am very interested in AFR or ANG as a flight nurse. Our local ANG has open slots for flight RN's however I think I would prefer AFR (there is both in my area). I know people in both and get mixed answers. Personally I want to get into CCATT as ICU type nursing is more my thing. Any pros/cons of each? How do they compare?

Also, what makes an ideal candidate? I want to present the best credentials possible. I have 11 years CC experience and hold two certifications. Is that enough experience? What else should I have?

Thanks for everyone's time!!
