   nerd_up replied to AlainaCTICUMSNRN's topic in Government

   How long is the commitment for AF nursing? Does it differ whether you choose ASTS or CCATT? I finally was offered a CCATT position, which I've been waiting for since 2 yrs ago but a lot has changed, in terms of my career goals. Would it be ...

   CCAT AF Nursing

   I’m being offered a 46N3 position at Travis AFB but in a MDS because there aren’t any 46N3E positions. If I ask for a 46N3 position in an ASTS, that’s not the same as a med-surg flight nurse, right? And I’d be able to transfer more easily to 46N3E?

   Flight Nursing in Air Force Reserves

   The way it was explained to me is that I would be a reservist but would have to be placed as active duty for the 10 months of flight training, then revert to reserves. These reserve flight nursing positions apparently have a $20k-$30k sign-on bonus f...

   nerd_up replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government

   Hey jfratian, Look like you've been a flight nurse for the AF since 2017 & I noticed you have your MSN. If you don't mind me asking, did you gain your MSN before, during, or after joining AF Flight Nursing? I'm wondering this because I'...
