I am interested in taking the TCRN. I want to do this by the end of Feb 2018. I have looked for review courses around me and there are none between now and then. That being said, for anyone who has...
Hey All, I just got word that my interview with the CNO is next week here in NC. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or could give me insight on how it might go or what I should prepare for? My...
I am interested in commissioning into the AF as an RN (hoping for the November 2017 board). I have written a previous post to ask questions about the process however I am wondering is it normal to...
I am currently applying to go active in the Air Force as a nurse. I am curious about anyone's experience with needing a medical waiver. My recruiter told me that I was not PDC (permanently...

Thank you for your input. I'm not on any daily mess and do not have a chronic medical issue so that's good to know. Do you know how long it takes after the interview to find out if you get
I have a list of questions and I am waiting to ask either the recruiter on Friday or to whomever is conducting the interview. Do you know what the interview is like? What does it consist of? I have...
