Not sure what all they look for. Jan 23, The Army is the only service that allows current officers apply for the Physician Assistant Program. To be competitive for NECP you need to keep up your grades so you can get into a nursing school.
My school was really tough, luckily I kept my GPA up at 3. My EPRs were all fives and I got a really great recommendation. Hope this helps! Has 1 years experience. Feb 9, I'm mil to mil with two small kids, and a applicant, was it pretty easy to get joint spouse orders? I'll have to go TDY for it and nervous!! Reason being is that Houston has the world's largest medical center so your clinical rotations you will see a lot of cutting edge stuff.
Just food for thought. Mar 14, If I wasn't going to be separated from my spouse who's also military, I would have def app to more than one school! Mar 18, I applied to the 2 closest schools to our duty station so we wouldn't get separated while I was in school. I got my email from AFPC about 8 months before I graduated asking me all my demographic information married, kids etc plus my top five assignment choices after graduation. We both got orders to Elmendorf. As long as you pick assignments you both can go to then you shouldn't have any issues.
I do know some career fields don't have a lot of assignments to choose from and if your husband is in that type of AFSC then it may be harder for you to get orders together. The CN interview shouldn't be an issue.
I wore my service dress, and I read over the AF mission and leadership issues. I made sure I had my application put together do I could present it if asked. Overall my interview ended up being a question and answer session where I got a lot of my questions answered and it was great!
Mar 21, Thank you so much for the info! We had decided to do the matching thing too, and it's def going to help that he's a MSgt too. But I need to get accepted into the program 1st : thank you so much for your help!
Do you enjoy being an AF nurse, is a lot different than nursing school? Mar 31, Your husband being a MSgt will help you so much! My husband was a MSgt and he could call AFPC directly to speak with his career field assignment personnel to coordinated our assignment.
Those selected for the program attend college full-time at an accredited college while remaining on active duty. It is a different program than Direct Enlistment Commissioning program, which lets airmen who already have a nursing degree and have passed the licensure exam to commission into the Nurse Corps.
Selection boards for the program are conducted periodically. Applicants are required to attend school year-round in a resident-based program for up to 24 consecutive calendar months, to include summer sessions. It's an intensive program, and an applicant must meet a few requirements to be considered. He or she has to be active duty at level E-4 Senior Airman or higher, a U.
Also, the applicant's physical and mental health must be such that he or she is "worldwide qualified," meaning they could be treated at any medical facility anywhere in the world. The Air Force regularly updates its list of disqualifying conditions for this status, so make sure you verify that you are eligible. Before being accepted into the program, candidates must complete 59 semester hours of college coursework from an accredited college or university.
That coursework must include general psychology anatomy and physiology I and II including labs; microbiology including labs; chemistry I and II including labs; nutrition and statistics. NECP candidates must also meet all prerequisites for an academic review and all the requirements for commissioning.
Students will be required to attend school year-round for up to 24 consecutive calendar months, to include summer sessions. As with a civilian nurse, there are many areas of specialization open to nurses in the Air Force. In addition to the obvious needs for nurses who have training in critical care and trauma, Air Force nurses are needed in the operating room, the delivery room and on the battlefield.
Nurse anesthetists, pediatric nurses and certified nurse midwives all have a role as well, even though these might not seem like obvious positions for nurses in the military. And nurses who specialize in mental health issues are increasingly important to the Air Force and other branches of the military , especially in combat situations.
And of course, the Air Force needs nurses trained for in-flight specialization. These nurses complete a flying class medical examination and learn about how altitude can affect therapies like anesthesia and other treatments.
