Hello all, I am a 23 year old EMT that works for the FDNY, and I'm also a newly licensed RN currently enrolled online at WGU for my BSN. I want to serve in the Air National Gaurd as s reservist in an RN capacity and I'm curious about what the enlistment steps entail, the pros and cons of military (specifically air Gaurd Nursing) , educational/continuing education opportunities provided by the air national guard to civilian nurses that enlist via direct commission, pay, military benefits/perks, degree/certification requirements, voluntary activation as a reservist, and any other nursing related information pertaining to the ANG. My ultimate goal in the FDNY is to become a firefighter, however I do want to grow clinically and academically as a nurse. The only way I would be able to simultaneously work as a nurse and fireman is if u join the armed forces as the FDNY makes accommodation s for military personnel and veterans. Once I become an APRN I would also love to go back to school to become a Naturopathic Physicisn. But I understand the culture of Western medicine and it may be a stretch for the military ti pay for that or anything non nursing related. Thank you.
