I’m sure as long as you’re willing to drive to Houston or Galveston on clinical days, that would work.

As long as you are in the areas of Galveston and Houston, they will provide preceptors and clinical sites ?

There’s a FB group for the MSN FNP class called “UTMB MSN FNP 2019 (Graduating December 2021)”. I can’t wait to meet my fellow classmates!

nicu1103, Congratulations!

Thank you! I got an email on Friday evening with the news. I applied in December but nursingcas took so long to get my transcripts entered that the application wasn’t final and submitted to the school until the beginning of January. Good luck to everyone and I can’t wait to meet my fellow classmates!

I just found out that I got in to the FNP program to start this fall. Who else is going for MSN FNP?

Hello! I was accepted into the UT Arlington MSN FNP AO program to start the Spring 2019 semester. I'm trying to find fellow classmates who will be on the same journey. I just completed my RN-BSN AO @ UTA last month and will graduate this December. I look forward to meeting everyone who will share this experience with me.

Hello. Joining the Air Force is something I have been interested in for a long time. Now that I'm 7 classes away from my BSN, I'm trying to research and find answers so that I will be prepared to enter the service. I just turned 40, I'm physically fit, and I have 18 years of RN experience. I do all of the perioperative and procedural areas but mostly OR circulating, pre-op, and endoscopy. Can anyone please tell me what the advantages of one area vs another would be when entering the AF? Also, how are the schedules for such areas? In addition to that, does anyone also have any other helpful information for getting ready to sign up as a commissioned officer? Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm 39 and healthy

0Hello. This is my first post ever to this forum, so I apologize in advance if I'm not in the loop as far as introductions and formats go. I'm hoping someone out there could give me some much needed information. I have been a registered nurse for 16 years, as an ADN. I am currently working towards my BSN, which I should have by the end of this year. My ultimate goal is to go for Family Nurse Practitioner. What I would love to do is join the Air Force after I graduate with my BSN. Serving is something I've always wanted to do but I wanted to be commissioned, so I'm waiting for my BSN. Once I'm in, I want to work toward my NP. So, my questions are: Is there a way to have my time as RN count from NCLEX to BSN? I've heard they could go either way. Some say the time as an ADN won't count and others say it will, once I get my BSN. If the total time (17 years once I complete my BSN) is counted, what rank should I expect to start at? If the total time doesn't count, what rank would that make me then? Also, how would I persue my FNP once I'm commissioned? I have also tried to contact a medical AF recruiter but the healthcare recruiting number from the USAF website doesn't work. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated since I'm starting with no knowledge of the process. Thank you all in advance for your help.
