Great info everyone! thanks! so jfratian it seems like there is no guarantee where you would be placed within flight nursing.

Thank for the truth nurse2033! Just got contacted for an opportunity in the air national guard as a CERFP. I had considered the Air Force flight nurse but don't like ICU nursing but instead enjoy emergency care!

It's a good point but from what I have researched nurses are nurses and they don't utilize them in combat as they wouldn't put officers in those situations of combat. But true a recruiter would hopefully help out.

RN joining military as combat medic? currently an RN with 2 years or ER experience at a level 2 trauma facility as well as a general pediatric floor nurse. 26 y/o a husband and a father who has always had a passion for the military and serving my country, I am tired of hospital work and wanting to work in the field in combat so that others may live. Is entering the guard or reserves as a combat medic a smart choice? What opportunities are out there that would allow me to enter as a nurse but in combat. Thanks!!
