Go to the Air Force website and look in the Health Professions section, locate a regional HP recruiting office, ask for a Nurse Corps recruiter. That representative will answer your questions. Also, enlisted recruiters must refer all BSN and higher...

He is correct, although I wouldn't bet on going to Germany or Alaska for your 1st duty assignment. Peterson/AFA should also be in that list. New entry level nurses need to go to hospitals, not clinics. v/r Sharky

if you graduate in dec 2012, then you will fall under the fy13 season, which means you should wait until next year. start the process when you are within one year of graduation. if you need to redo meps and get another waiver, i would start sooner....

There are less than 20 NTP positions available for FY12. Technically, you can submit an application as long as you are within 1 year of graduation by the time the board meets. I am not working BSN students for NTP. The reason is simple, they are no...

I think I have already talked with you before on FB. Answers: 1. Depends on the recruiting environment and your current status. The same medical waiver you did for the Army will have to be approved by the Air Force. Just because the Army approved y...

If you are applying for the Nurse Corps, a Masters in anything other than an MSN for a clinical specialty will get you nothing upon entry. Constructive Grade Credit is 2 years for this. Experience credit is 1/2 of total full-time RN experience in an...

(Y)et, (E)veryone know(S), it is against the forum policy for recruiters to actively recruit on here. v/rSharky

Contact me, I'll find out.

Unless you have one full year of clinical acute care experience in a full-time, in-patient setting, it is at the recruiter's discretion whether to work your application. NTP is not an option, and fully qualified is becoming more competitive. Don't ...

There is no requirement for Letters of Recommendation for any Nurse Corps application. There is a requirement for three (minimum) evaluation forms, AFRS Form 1373, to be completed by senior RNs. There is a maximum of five evaluations for clinical s...

One exception, if one were in ROTC and apply to the Nurse Corps. Otherwise, the only test you have to pass is your NCLEX for RN, or others for ARNP. v/r Sharky

Applications are due 27 SEP. The next due date is JAN 2012...and there may not any slots available my then. So yes, listen to your recruiter and get your application in ASAP. Then, you wait for a seat to open up at COT that fits your grad schedule...

Yes, and no. Your health professions recruiter is correct. There are less than 20 slots available for FY12 NTP and applications aren't due until June 2012...so there is no point in working applications right now when we have fully qualified special...

You are right. I was asked to come on here to clear up a lot of misinformation concerning "how" to get accepted, not to troll or argue. There is a reason nurses are not recruiters, and I would never tell a nurse how to do their job. Best of luck e...

Give your recruiter ALL medical records concerning this condition and submit to the SG for an authorization to continue your application. They will provide in writing of their decision. v/r Sharky

Enlisted and RN candidate MEPS medical physicals are the same. Your MEPS physical is good for two years...but from the time you cleared MEPS through the date of official board selection. So, if the board meets 1 day after your two year mark, you wi...

if you are encouraging others to follow your footsteps considering today's recruiting climate, you will be setting them up for failure. there is absolutely no way to get all the required forms online, completed properly, and go through each step (fy...

With all due respect, I would strongly advise anyone that wants to become an Air Force nurse to disregard that statement. Your Health Professions recruiter will let you exactly what you need to do, and it will be up to you to do it. The more you do...

Then you can apply, although the next board will probably not be possible since application deadline is a few weeks away. The board dates for next FY have not been released yet. Good luck, stay motivated. v/r Sharky

contact your regional HP recruiter ASAP. Bonus for FY12 not announced yet, but its usually $30k for 4 years. v/r Sharky

You will not be eligible for the upcoming board if you are applying for NTP. If you graduate in 2012 and don't have an ADN, then you must wait for the FY12 NTP board. It takes months to put a solid application together.

So proud of you...I'll be quiet now, lol. v/r Sharky

I can confirm this for the AF...any BSN/BAN that is accredited by the CCNE or NLNAC is acceptable. v/r Sharky

No on the dependent issue, RNs are officers and have different entry requirements than enlisted. For ADHD, get all medical records ready to give to your recruiter. Ensure that you were clinically diagnosed and have records to prove it. Your recrui...

Capt, who is that? lol...v/rSharky
