    bryango replied to bryango's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  4. ICU AirForce

    bryango replied to bryango's topic in Government, Military

    That sounds like a positive for me. I have been a nurse 9 years now, all ICU. Sounds like its time to get ahold of the recruiter and get the ball rolling. Where are you stationed,

  9. Experienced ICU thinking about Air Force

    bryango replied to bryango's topic in Government, Military

    Well, it is crazy to think that a post I started 5 years ago still gets read. I eventually got selected to join the AF as a ICU. Then was medically disqualified several months later since I had Lasix...

    bryango replied to bryango's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the replies. I guess the way I look at it is two fold. One, I have always wanted to serve my country and this is a great way to do it. Two, if i can pay off $40,000 of student loans with a...
