Definitely Airforce if you are able to get in. Army and Air force nursing is so very different. As others have stated, your best option is to discuss with a healthcare recruiter and see what they suggest. from what I ahve seen working for Airforce and army nursing they are so very different, yet not really anything I could write about. Airforce nursing is very comparable to the civilian sector. Also very family oriented. Also, it harder to get into the Airforce nursing than Army. (this should say something alone) I just got selected for Airforce Nicu, and it is simply the complicated 8 months of paperwork I have ever done! Ultimately, it depends what you want to get out of your Military career. Let us know what you decide.

Enova, I will be going to SAMMC as my first duty station for NICU. Excited! Would you private message me as I have so many questions about the hospital:-)

I definitely would agree with the NCSBN Learning Extension. Also, did you work on the remediation type areas the board sends you as your weak areas? Another thing you can do is call your state board of nursing and ask them what you can do different. They more than likely can offer some guidance and learning material that they know will be beneficial. Most importantly, don't give up on yourself. Have faith and courage and it will guide you:) Best of luck!!

The March 205 boards are all out. I got selected and got notified a few weeks ago. I hope you got in. What specialty did you apply for?

Which base are you located on? I am sure I will have lots of questions.. Grlpwrd

GRLPwrd, I did get selected!! My assignment will be SAMMC in San Antonio. I have MEPS next week. It is amazingly wonderful to get that phone call!!

I don't know if there is a separate posts for COT 2015, but I am scheduled to go to COT Aug 15? Anyone else? I got selected for a NICU nurse!!
