What does each branch have to offer for a new grad?

[aferg002]

Hello, and thank you for reading.

Bio. 29 male graduating in 12/2017 with a BSN RN. Previous history: EMT > Paramedic > nursing school. I'm pretty comfortable with what I know which is trauma and emergency medicine. And I love it. I've always wanted to serve in the military, and from a military family my dad told me officer over enlisted. So as a new grad nurse, what are my options as far as duties in different branches.

My ultimate dream military job would be a medievac crew, but there's no officer nurse positions for that. I would love to become a flight nurse in the civilian side and I want to learn all I can to strive my best to get to that goal

All i know is from recruiters and enlisted, so I don't have any first hand experience. About me as well, I would like to excel and learn more things and get great experience. I don't want to be stuck in a small clinic somewhere doing paperwork (yes I know I don't have say) but I want to have the flexibility of working outside in the field/theater and still get great critical care/ emergency experience.

I would like to ask the community what your advice or thoughts are.

Thank you.

Any flight crew need to pass a flight physical. CCATT nurses also must pass a flight physical even though they aren't technically air crew. You would require a waiver to do CCATT, and I'm not really sure what types of waivers are being granted right now. You'd have to talk to a recruiter.

Thanks for the reply! I am not close to considering CCATT or contacting a recruiter at all. I am still AD and plan on separating in the upcoming months to pursue nursing using the Post 9/11 GI Bill - was simply exploring various aspects of the AE community. Maybe I'll pay the MDG a visit once panic surrounding covid-19 decreases and ask Flight Medicine about the specifics. :^)

Thanks again & stay safe.
