I agree with Cav5. Many of us here on the forum that have or are working on our BSN are aiming to be selected as officers. I am not sure how many years you have been working as an RN, BSN, but you would likely go in *above* an O-1 from what I underst...

Thank you so much for your feedback! Have you found that OU requires frequent group assignments and have you been pleased with your instructors and the overall format/information provided? I have been reading all of the school threads for weeks. I c...

Congratulations! My test date is coming up and reading something like this is just such a nice thing for those of us that haven't taken the leap yet. Thank you! :)

I just wanted to say thank you! I was very happy to be able to talk to an AF health recruiter today and it sounds like a school that is accredited with a brick-and-mortar location might be preferable to somewhere that is only online like UP if everyt...

I'm just curious if the OP or any other NCP applicants heard anything from their recruiter regarding the school they were considering? I am trying to create a short list of RN-BSN online programs that I can afford + that are CCNE accredited so I can ...

Wow, great questions posted- thank you! About the reserves and deployment, I was just reading an article from 2010 last night and it said, "The Air Force has sent 4,060 active duty, guard and reserve nurses to Afghanistan and Iraq for 30 days or mor...

Thank you so much for responding! That is exactly what I was hoping to find out. I'd contacted the healthcare recruiter going on 10 days ago about this and have e-mailed and left voice mail both, but haven't heard anything still as of this moment. I ...

Thanks for the great topic Chelauren. Also, thanks for the fantastic response Nurse2033! One other item that I was told recently was to address them properly by rank and name. You can google it if they have it abbreviated on their card or e-mail sign...

Just wanted to bump this as I'd also like to hear new responses. I just graduated from an ADN program and am pursuing an RN-BSN specifically to join the AF. GPA is 3.75 and have a BS in another field. Planning to work med-surg while I am in school fo...

Good morning, I can't find this information anywhere- I even e-mailed the HC recruiter and haven't heard anything. Does the RN-BSN program need to be a brick-and-mortar school that I attend locally (such as Florida State University for example) or i...

Hi everyone, I just graduated from an ADN program and am studying to take the NCLEX. I want to serve in the AF or Navy Nursing Corps if I can so I am trying to jump right into my BSN so I can qualify. I am confused regarding the education program th...

Thanks so much for the info! I also contacted an AF recruiter this week to ask if online programs are acceptable for an RN-BSN program or if I have to attend a brick-and-mortar school. Thanks again!

Just received my ATT! Looks like the first appointment in my area isn't available until the week of June 18th, but at least I can schedule it now. Thanks so much!

Just in case it helps anyone, I did finally find a few pages that state that the AF requires either CCNE or NLNAC accredation for BSN programs. For those considering AF or Navy and aren't sure which yet, CCNE is probably the accreditation to go with ...

Thanks so much for the info! It sounds like I will need to call or e-mail tomorrow. I actually completed all of the portions of the application during April that I could (including my verifiable document) and was just waiting on the transcripts from ...

Grats Emile!! FlyFarFarAway, when did you submit your paperwork if you don't mind my asking? My application/transcripts/verifiable document/etc. was posted on their site by 5/15, but still no ATT as of this moment. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the info. If you don't mind my asking, what year in your BSN program did you join the Navy? Did they just tell you that it needed to be CCNE accredited or did you just submit the paperwork with your school's info and found out l...

I sent mine as a scanned e-mail document and it was shown as "completed" within 24 hours. I still haven't received the ATT though the only sections still showing as pending are: Application Complete, Passing Results for NCLEX, and NCLEX eligible. Hop...

Does anyone know how long it takes after transcripts are received until the ATT goes out? Also is it via e-mail or the post office? Thank you so much!

Bumping this as I am looking to apply, but am having trouble finding reviews of any of the programs. Thanks!

Just wanted to bump this thread. Has anyone had any experience with these programs? Thanks!

I am in the process of filling out the paperwork for the last clinical rotation in nursing school, but this time we have the option to request a specialty area if we prefer something other than med/surg. I would like to serve either in the Navy or th...

Good points! Thanks so much for the information- it does sound like ED would give me plenty of learning opportunities that would be able to help me later on in the military. You are correct that I have been told by a number of nurses that I should st...

Thank you so much for your response. I also learn by doing, but I wasn't sure if the ED would be too fast paced to catch on safely. I was also told that they have a lot of "short cuts" that aren't necessarily good for a student to pick up. Have you c...
