Hello all- I am currently an ICU RN in a county level 1 trauma hospital. I am a certified CCRN and am on my hospital's heart team with IABP certs and a whole mess of other experience and certs. I am finishing my BSN in the fall. I am thinking about joining the air force but still playing with the idea. I am 27 with no kids (just pets) and a boyfriend i've been with for 5 years that is willing to move. Anyone have any adivce on what to expect when you join the air force as an experienced ICU RN? Do you love and recommend it? I know you are required to move some times....what happens if you have a house? Do they help you sell it? What about pay? I make around $26/hr now and am wondering if I have to take a major pay cut. I'm really considering this field but really want some real life adivce from current air force RN's. I've already spoken to a recruiter but he wasn't and had never been in the medical side of the air force. Any adivce, comments or suggestions would be really helpful and appreciated. Much love!!
