  9. Actual officers?

  12. navy to airforce

    ... depends.. currently active? specific to nursing? time break in service.. etc
  13. Billets refer to the actual position / location. Position is also somewhat based on your rank/rate. PNP will be small enough that somewhere there is essentially a 'listing' showing the billet slots...
  14. At this time of the process I recommend listening to the recruiter and focusing on the process and rough timeline of joining... after you get the materials from recruiter (security packet,...

  21. Who has done the military route?!

    I would say the competitiveness of direct accession into air force, army or navy is far more competitive then getting an entry level job as an RN and the timeline is very long - meaning it will take a...

    you can get a generic course guarantee to enter critical care but upon arrival you have a med-surg window that is about 12 mo, then start moving towards critical care course, then
  23. Quick question for Army nurses

    its in the reg.. he can write it and it should get kicked back by your 1SG or SGM, its a good thing that every 2LT isn't able to do whatever they want but... it would be helpful as a SSG that you...
