FY2022 nurse corps check in

Published

Well since I’m just now kicking off the FY2022  OTS class today, I figured I’d get a thread going for FY2022 nurse corps. Who’s selected, where are you going, and lmk if you have any questions. I technically commissioned two months ago, but that’s a whole other discussion.

I’ve been getting conflicting info. Is it the 8 week course or 5 week one?

The course has been tweaked over time.  It used to be 5.5 weeks.  The air university website is out of date.  It's currently 8 weeks.  We just sent a new nurse from our unit to the course and her orders are for 8 weeks.

As noted, it's typically have an 8 week course and nurse corps and a range of others are often in that.  There is still a 5 week course which I had the fortune of going into.  Few people get these spots and nurses/NPs are typically for extenuating circumstances.

Sounds like it’s the 8 week then! Thanks!
