Remember that CCAT is a deployment billet 99% of the time, if you want to fly as your primary duty ask about AE billets. When you are not doing CCAT you are a generalist ICU RN. Feel free to drop a DM if you have more specific questions

Looks like the 15 post minimum is holding you up. Let me ask first what are your expectations for AF Crit Care?

Are you looking for Flight Nurse or CCAT RN? 2 similar sounding jobs with very different roles.

The VA is tough, while the census and acuity is lower the administrative burden can be oppressive at times and the unions seems to retain less than stellar personalities. I used to be pro RN union units I worked at a VA facility.

+1 for reserves vote. The active duty side is not going to be that flexible on schedules for clinical etc. Also, remember that when you join as a med surg RN and finish your degree you still have to apply to be an FNP and the AF chooses whether or not to let you change specialties. Hope that helps.

L&D seems to be getting pushed back across the DHA transition which is supposed to focus on deployment capabilities. I don't think the Air Force wants all of their nurses to be flight nor is the Navy pushing everyone to go to a ship those are just specific jobs in each service. I think the more important thing to consider os the acuity capabilities of these hospitals. Only a few MTFs have Neonatal ICI capabilities so most complications are sent to a civilian partnership with NICU support. Hope that helps.

I'm stationed at Keesler. Manning is a big issue here along with many other mil facilities. COVID deployments have died down but the DHA transition is shaking things up. Average ICU census of 1 with a vented patient once a month or so. Feel free to shoot me a message for more specifics offline.
