So I have posted on here before asking about this, but I really want to join the USAF as a nurse. I have two bachelors degrees because the first one was useless (dont go to school for health science boys n girls!), but the second one is about to be ...

Thanks Erandy! Are you applying as well?

Erandy, I would love to update you! So I did end up applying, but we found out my husband was getting relocated to Texas. So, the board runs 3 times per fiscal year (Oct to Oct). I was all set to apply in Oct 2018 (which is fiscal year 2019), and...

Okay. I think it's similar in the Air Force as well. This whole process has been grueling! I began my application in March 2017 and I'm still unable to commission. My recruiter is not the greatest at responding so I appreciate the help. Not reall...

Can you explain what constructive credit is? I haven't heard that phrase yet. So since my GPA isn't high enough, I straight up need to get the year of experience as my other option to join? Then once I hit my year I can finally apply to the board? I...

I have my BSN-RN as well as a BS because I did the accelerated route. I have a recruiter and I'm in the process of getting the HPSP for DNP-FNP through the AF. I was a non-select the first time I applied and I'm going to apply again for the October ...

Yep. My bad. Osmosis*

Oh hey! Sorry about that, it's a YouTube channel! Go to YouTube and type in "oasis" and it's got tons of medical topics that are reviewed by physicians, but put into cartoons that make it extremely easy to understand and follow. It saved me!

I found out back in May that I was a non-select. I am re-applying for the start of the next fiscal year. The board is in Sept and my recruiter told me I should expect to hear back in Oct. My recruiter told me I received 9/10 marks from both interv...

Hello all! Im finishing my BSN and applying to Valparaiso's BSN to DNP in the April of 2018. If theres anyone out there who has utilized the Air Force HPSP for FNP can you please help?!?! my husband is a TSgt in the Air Force and I REALLY want to b...

Hey! Just researching a little and came across your post. I graduate with BSN in 8 weeks and currently finalizing requirements for DNP (FNP) so I can also get the HPSP. Would you mind chatting?!

Not a problem! It's a lot of info being thrown at you, but that portfolio that I'm talking about, keep things like number of IVs started, # of Foley's performed, etc, because like I said, not everyone will even get the chance to do them! So it'll se...

Hey, current accelerated BSN student here. My first word of advice, do your research on the school! Read reviews, talk to current students, and see what people say about the program. Secondly, I would recommend making a student portfolio with eve...

Hey! Thanks for your service, Im actually looking to do the opposite- finish my BSN and then join the military. I can tell you that my school is a private university and DOES take the GI bill, so Im sure you wont have a problem with that, many of t...

Hey! Current ABSN nursing student here! I can tell you right now, it is NOTHING like your first bachelors degree. Even as the type a that you say you are, you will have to become comfortable with not getting an A in every class. It will not happe...

25 year old here! I went to school and completed my bachelors degree at 23 and guess what? I couldn't find a job. Went back to school for engineering and just like you, I decided that (on top of it not being for me), it would take too damn long. ...

Hello all, I have been considering the Air Force nurse transition program (NTP) for about a year now because I do not yet have a year of RN experience. My recruiter told me about the health professional scholarship program (HPSP) where you get acce...

You must become an RN first before becoming an NP, so you gotta look into becoming a nurse first! :)

If you get a BSN you can then qualify to take the NCLEX (the board exam for nurses) which will provide you with your license and therefore makes you an RN. That is why it is called BSN-RN :) Ive never heard of a BSN in psychology? A BSN stands for...

Ive been using UWorld and from what I've been told, its identical to the NCLEX! Good luck.

Hey Alexisjade! So I can tell you that you should definitely consider going straight for the BSN-RN route. I dont say that to attack any LPNs because I think LPNs are awesome! I say that because hospitals are slowly stepping away from LPNs (at leas...

ApricotTea! How can I get ahold of you for NTP? I really have a lot of questions!

I am currently going through the process to commission in, planning on meeting with the board mid-2018 and I am still not finished. I began my process back in Feb of 2017. Still in school, but I did the accelerated nursing school so I will be done ...

No problem! I should also tell you that its okay if you dont know a lot about science, use that to your advantage! One girl in my program had a fashion degree and shes doing just fine! Sometimes they like people who arent science based because it ...

Oh I see, well I know for us there is a nurse crop in the Air Force and the Navy and I believe the Army has a school too? I know the Marine Corp does not. So thats at least 3 different routes you could take to become a nurse here in the military. ...
