Again, thank you; things are getting clearer. Indeed, I have to consider practicality and earnings. If I enlist with the Air Guard, do they accept me as a nurse if I’m already a USRN here in NY knowing that my BSN was from overseas or would it be same as enlisting in the USAF? I appreciate the suggestion, the Air Guard is a bit more practical for me since there is a base not too far from where I reside. Further thoughts and insights about this is deeply appreciated sir.

I appreciate it sir, everything seems clearer right now. I might enlist but not as an officer (nurse). Not the wisest thing to do having my BSN, but it is a long time dream to serve at least 4 years of active duty. Then, I will practice my BSN career as a civilian. For now, I’m working hard to pass the NCLEX and hopefully enlist after a year of exp in the clinical setting. Money aside, I personally believe that my 4 years of active duty would be very much essential in a way that I would bring experiences and values with me for life. Thank you once again and may I hear your thoughts about this?

I am currently reviewing for my NCLEX at the state of NY. Am really hoping that given CGFNS accredited my BSN credentials, USAF will take that into consideration when I apply soon. That being said, I am still a green card holder and not yet a citizen. Do you think I should enlist with hopes to hasten my citizenship and then apply as a nurse by then? It has been a dream of mine to serve the USAF but I find the process confusing for now. To continue, I am very much willing to do other medical related jobs in the USAF but what move would you think is advantageous for me? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I am in a similar situation with you, having a green card and BSN. Supposing I would pass the NCLEX and join the Air Force, would this be a good idea? I had my BSN outside the US. I want to serve the USAF.

Hello! I am interested in joining USAF and I hope to enlist after passing the NCLEX soon. Do you think this would be a great idea? I had my BSN outside of the US.
