Well, I'm not sure if the AF has a role similar to your current role. To be a nurse in the AF, you must have a BSN. You either apply for NTP (new nurses with less than 6 months experience) or for FQ (more than 6 months experience). It is extremely co...

Stay positive and don't give up, even if you don't make it this year. I had to apply twice to get in, but that denial last year is what made me kick butt and improve so much this year!! Does anyone know specific info like how many people applied this...

CPRose, the GPA is your cumulative GPA and must be a 3.5 currently. However, that has changed before. Last year it was a 3.4 minimum, before that I think a 3.2. But this year was the first requiring a 3.5 so it's getting more and more difficult. Defi...

I'm a little late to posting since I'm in England, don't have service constantly, but I WAS SELECTED!!! After waiting to apply again from last year, I am SOO happy and thankful right now!! I can hardly believe results came out so fast, and I made it!...

As others stated, you would commission not enlist, but you must have a BSN, an associates won't cut it. As far as masters, to be a NP, the military is transitioning to doctorate level, they don't want masters anymore. So you'd be better off looking f...

There are definitely less applicants, for a couple reasons. Last year the minimum GPA requirement was 3.4, this year it is 3.5 which isn't a big jump but it still cut quite a few applicants. Second reason, any December 2015 grads are not allowed to a...

Ya right, it's all I'll be thinking of. Luckily work plus vacations will keep me pretty busy

I worked last night, and as soon as it hit midnight all I was thinking was "today they meet!!!" Can't wait for decisions, just hoping and praying for good news and no delays!

Yes your base pay gets taxed, however once you add in that BAH and BAS your pay goes waay up. Most big bases, like San Antonio, get aroung 1700 per month. Thats an entire paycheck added in. Not to mention the other little things you get like free hea...

Now just one week till boards, and maybe 3 till decisions!! This is the toughest part, waiting around with nothing to do for the application. It's all out of our hands now ( =

Board meets in 9 days. Woo!!!!

I'm not in the military (yet, hoping for good next month). But I know from other people and posts on this site that nurses do more than just nursing. As officers, there's a whole array of added duties, all the military stuff plus leadership jobs etc....

As Pixie stated, the Army currently is not accepting new grad nurses. You would have to be involved with the ROTC program or else hope in 3-4 years they need new nurses again. The Air Force is currently accepting a limited number of new grad nurses, ...

I believe they are reducing its active members, but they still are taking a small number of nurses each year to replace others as needed. Every year nurses get out of the Air Force, move on, get promoted to new positions. The Air Force, at least for ...

mcastill...did you typo your GPA? I'm not trying to be rude, but the minimum GPA to apply for NTP is 3.5 so if that is your correct GPA, you may want to talk with your recruiter.

Ahh I see why it didn't count. Well like I said, it may help since it's experience, but at the same time I've read a lot of posts saying if the experience wasn't in the relevant field they apply for, it isn't counted as highly. Sortof like if I work ...

The 2 years experience is absolutely necessary for Army. I contacted an Army recruiter about commissioning as a new grad nurse and he replied saying they require 2 years experience and to contact him again once I had that...

They'll give you feedback if you ask usually, but I'll tell you that of all the people I've met/read about, about 90% of them have positive wonderful interviews...I rarely hear about a bad chief nurse interview. Which is interesting considering they ...

That depends on what that 22 yr old with a 4.0 has...if they have leadership skills, can balance work and school, good record, good letter of recommendation...then it comes down to GPA. But most people with 4.0 GPAs (no not all, but most) will have m...

I would be extremely cautious with your recruiter because they tend to tell you what you want to hear. However, if he is a healthcare recruiter (NOT a general recruiter) ask what the GPA requirement is to commission as a nurse. Be straightforward and...

I'll throw in just a few things here to keep in mind. For the Air Force, to even apply to be a nurse they require a 3.5 GPA minimum and a Bachelor's degree. They are not taking very many nurses as it is, and we won't know what the future will look li...

Hello guys! I've been reading all the Air Force nursing posts and threads for a few months now, but it doesn't seem like there's been much activity on people applying this July for NTP. I'm just looking for other people who've applied and are twiddli...

Yes July 14th is the date I was given for he board meeting. Tentative release date of August 3rd. We shall see, last year took a month longer...but that didn't seem normal

Haha no problem JoJo, and yes all of our packets should be submitted now since it's about a month from the board meeting. Hopefully we will know in about 7-8 weeks!

Anyone else from last year applying again for NTP?? I know me and littlemissfit ar applying again, was curious if anyone else would apply for NTP 2015
