Rank when entering

Specialties Government

Published

Could someone explain to me how ranking is determined? I just asked my recruiter to verify what rank I should be entering if all goes well. I will have my masters in healthcare administration and 7+ years of nursing. She told me with my Masters I will go in as an 0-2. I could have sworn she told me 0-3 when I initially starting talking to her.

Specializes in EMT, ER, Homehealth, OR.

That stinks,plus it take longer for AF nurses to make rank then the Army & Navy. In the Army you keep your bonus from whatever area of nursing you are coming from while you are in long term education. This bonus is based on if you are certified and how long you agree to stay. It is between 5-20K per year depending on if you sign a 1,2,3, or a 4 year agreement.

In the future retention bonuses might end up going away since the services are meeting accession goals for nurses.
