This is such useful information! I am currently a senior in nursing school and am looking to join the Air Force after graduation in May. I am so happy to continue learning more and more about being a nurse in the Air Force because it feels like a huge life decision. I want to look for a space to grow as a nurse and as a person. I think the Air Force is the way to go!

I’m currently in nursing school to and I’m planning on joining the Air Force or navy after a year or 2 of ICU experience

I appreciate all this information! I have 12 years prior service Navy & I’m now a new grad nurse wanting to finish my 20… I think 😅 I’ve considered maybe trying the Air Force so this is super helpful! 🙏🏾

I think it would be great if you could place in the video description all the military acronyms you use.

Such a great video with two of the Air Force’s best!! What you all are doing is so beneficial to so many individuals! Thank you for what you do!

MSgt! I was happy to have worked with you when you were on the Air Force side! I would love to work with you soon to produce a video about the Space Force side of things!

I am currently in the process of trying to commission into the AF as a nurse. I started watching your content on being a AF nurse prior to starting the process and it has been informative.

I enjoy your videos, it's the content I'm looking for: very informative. I'm putting in my OTS application for two positions: MSC officer and RN. How do your admin activities differ from the purely healthcare admins? I'm still debating active vs reserves. The reserves seem to offer the right amount of incentive, and the way the two of you reacted when mentioning the reserves seemed like thats the way lol. How are the hours? I'm kind of nervous thinking that the military is going to demand 60 hours a week?

Definitely one of those things that change week to week for me. One day I wanna get out and the next i'm enjoying active duty! just trying to take it day by day. Honestly, my work life balance has always been 40 hour weeks and with the exception of online work from home which i dont mind.

Hi, this video was very helpful, I would like to receive some input on the decision of joining the Air force as an RN who does not particularly like bedside? Do you think it would still be a good idea to join if a Nurse is trying to move away from bedside Nursing?

you will not thrive well if that's the case. All leaders are built from the bedside up. Unless you come in with an advanced degree like a DNP NP or CRNA then the case will be different. Everyone is subject to same pipeline for leadership training. No exceptions to this rule.

Hi, love the videos. I’m going to ADN school and will get my bsn right after. Goal is to get bsn within first year of graduating. Made the most financial sense to me. And also so I can still hopefully get into a new grad program so I can get some icu exposure. Do you recommend I do that? or should I just get my med surge experience as an ADN WHILE getting my BSN online. Then after 1 year of experience i will have both the minimum 12 months experience and BSN degree. Then apply to the airforce and get into ICU in the airforce. Which would be easier to do? Does the airforce prefer to take ICU nurses or med surge nurses?

I would recommend which ever is the most feasible for cost and time. If you know you cannot break the bank then go with the first route, but if you can get into a bsn program right away then do that as well. The air force will take both medsurg and ICU. depending on what you wanna do then you just gotta plan it.

@markgarcia6746 get experience before coming in versus medsurg then going in medsurg. they have a training pipeline to get you there, it takes longer than getting experience on the outside.

For first Lt you need to have at least 4 years civilian exp. They divide your experience on the outside by 2 and 2 years is 1st Lt.
