i currently work at a trauma level II center and the experience is awesome, i'd like to be stationed at Lackand, TX. i'm kind of a control freak though when it comes to my patients, i don't like med students doin stuff to my patients without me knowing, more of a trust issue, i'd rather do it myself at least knowing my abilities and limits... dunno, that's me i guess... actually as of recently i'm also thinking bout doing CRO (combat rescue officer) not sure though, i wish i could do both, but not sure if thats going to be possible..

i'm interested in joining the air force for nursing. i'm currently working in the ER at a level II trauma center, hoping to try and work in a similar environment eventually working my way into flight nursing. i have heard stories from fellow nurses who have bad experiences with physicians in the airforce as far as competency goes (no offense intended to any md's). In anycase, i'm not much for going out to sea as far as the navy goes. Wondering if anyone has any input as to their experience as a RN in the air force. how hard is it to get leave? Is it hard to transfer to different airforce bases? how different Is working the ER in the in the air force compared to civillian hospitals? Any help would be great! thanks!!
