   Looking at potentially moving to Ireland. What's the update on your license transfer? How long did it take? Did they approve? Any insight as to the process would be much appreciated. Thanks!

   Gamecock RN replied to TravelRN17's topic in Government

   I went into the Air Force with 6 years civilian experience, mainly ICU and step down with some moonlighting in nursery and postpartum. I was given 3 years credit for my experience and came in as an O2 (1Lt). In the civilian world, I worked night shif...

   Gamecock RN replied to Gamecock RN's topic in Government

   Thanks for your feedback! Europe is definitely a desire but not more than joining the Air Force. I'll go where where the military needs me. Do you think it's worth getting PCCN certified if I apply for med surg?
