I have been an Air Force nurse (Married w/2 kids) for almost two years now and still like my job. My general advise to someone thinking about joining the military is that it is a lifestyle choice. There will be things that you don't want to do but will have to do. IE: come in on your day off for meetings, go places that aren't very pleasant, or don't get to transfer to a specialty area when you want to. BUT there are advantages. I live on base in a brand new house 3bed 2 1/2 bath 5 min from work, I get paid the same even if I work 2 days a week (or 6 ) all my extra training and certs are free. My workday ( Before I was charge nurse) Max pt's = 4 3 if one was a pediatric or was an intrathecal ortho pt most of the time I had my own tech Life is good And I live 7 miles from the Las Vegas Strip :) If any one has specific AF nurse questions feel free to PM me.
