I am in ROTC so I do not commission until June of 2012.

Hello, I am currently in AFROTC in San Diego and am set to Graduate this coming May. There are about four of us nurses graduating, and our detachment literally has no answers to any of our questions, apparently we are the first nurses to come through in years. Are there any AFROTC grads out there that know the process? 1. When do we find out what base we will go to? 2. Which bases have NTP? 3 Approximately how long after passing NCLEX to we leave for NTP? Any answers would be great!

Awesome thanks for the info. Do you also agree that going oversees right away doesn't usually happen?

Hello everyone, So currently I am on scholarship with my local AFROTC detachment and am going to commission in FY 2012 with a BSN degree. Because our detachement has only around 4 nurses including myself, little to no information gets out to us about what to expect within the coming year of our nursing career. We are set to find out our bases, but we first have to fill out our "dream sheet." Our detachment Colonel is telling us that we only have 10 base options: Andrews AFB, Washington, D.C. Eglin AFB, Florida Ellendorf AFB, Alaska Keesler AFB, Mississippi Lacland AFB, Texas Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany Langley AFB, Virginia Nellis AFB, Nevada Travis AFB, California Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio Are these in fact the only bases we have to choose from? Just a general overview of what to expect as a new grad in the Air Force would be great! Will we be working on a MedSurg floor? How long until we can attempt to specialize? What are the chances of getting a base oversees right out of ROTC? Aren't there bases also in Italy and England? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks :)
