Hello everyone, I also got my acceptance letter for the dual role program! Is anyone aware of an online group for our class where we can post stuff and communicate with each other? Congrats to everyone who got accepted!
Hello! I have an issue that I hope someone can advise me on. Nurses in my unit are assigned online education, often with CE credit. If we do them at home, we are reimbursed at our base pay for however many hours are awarded for CE credits. I recent...

Thanks for the information. I did know about applying FQ, but only from reading the threads on this site. I believe they give 1/2 credit for civilian RN experience. I hope we can all help each other be more informed.

Thanks. I'm an ICU nurse with 4 years experience, will have my BSN in May. I spoke with a healthcare recruiter in the USAF last year, and he told me to follow up with him after I had my BSN. I have heard many people say the USAF was letting a lot ...

I think it depends what geographic location you live. I live in a more rural area, and it is definitely helpful to have a BSN, but by no means required. I estimate less than 30% of the nurses have a BSN where I work. I'm currently working on my BSN...

Is the process the same for nurses with experience? I have been licensed and working since 2010. I will have my BSN in a year. I have already spoken with a recruiter, but I didn't ask him if I would have to go to MEPS.
Greetings, I am a RN currently working on my BSN (I plan to finish in the summer of 2015). I have one year of experience between Med-Surg and Step-Down/Tele; and almost two years experience in Critical Care. I am very interested in joining the Air Fo...

Thank you so much for that helpful information! While I enjoy Critical Care Nursing, I would definitely be willing to work wherever the best opportunities are for growth and advancement exist. Perhaps I should tell my recruiter that I have Med Surg a...
