   Star_Couch posted a topic in Government

   I've heard of the long-distance fixed wing transports in the Air Force, but am asking specifically about helicopter transport, MEDEVAC, and critical care.

2. Which is the best branch for rotary-wing flight nursing?

   Star_Couch posted a topic in Government

   I'm an ER nurse looking to go into the military, and like the idea of MedEvac and critical patient transport. I saw this video: and was wondering what the options were? I have read that most flight nurses are on fixed-wing aircraft, so how does one ...

3. NP vs. PA, how is the military role different, and which is the better option?

   Star_Couch replied to Star_Couch's topic in Government

   I'll admit, I probably get caught up in the idea of treating really interesting battlefield trauma. I guess it may not be realistic, but something has to be close, right? I've already submitted applications to PA school, and this sounds like the best...

   Thanks for the reply, it has been difficult to get a good idea of what PAs do in the military. What about Nurse Practitioners in the Army/Navy? Is it pretty much the same as what you described?

   Star_Couch posted a topic in Government

   I work in a busy ER and have always been interested in trauma and the military. It seems like the logical choice between these two would be going to school for Nurse Practitioner. The problem is, I have heard that in the context of the military, NPs ...

8. UTMB Spring 2014 Applicants

   Star_Couch replied to Kjcooper79's topic in Texas

   Good luck to all those applying! Just for reference, I had an interview on the 13th and got my letter of acceptance yesterday (the 18th) which was surprising because they told me they would contact me in like 2-4 weeks. To anyone else who was admitte...
