Girl you look so GOOD!! I found your channel because I’m 16 and I want to be a CRNA in the Air Force. Your channel has been really helpful.
Thank you dear!! Good luck to you in your endeavors, you can do it!
Jaidah Wheeler same
Me toooooo
Me too
how is it going ?
I really appreciate you making this video and keeping it real without all the fluff. I’m in nursing school now and plan to join the Air Force after. This is the most informative advice I’ve heard by far. Thank you❤️
So glad it’s been helpful!! Thanks for watching!
Ila Yazzie im on the same boat. Im talking with a recruiter now. The process takes about a year from the time of application to COT. What i found out is that flight nursing is a position in the Reserves and Air National Guard. It's the most time consuming because other than your 1 weekend a month, you have to do a certain amount of flight hours per quarter in addition to your weekends. Your first year is alot of training even though your in the reserves. Im still going to go for it. Recruiters just aren't good at responding back
WOW! Love your truth and candid point of view. I am an active duty 1Lt, and I came in after 6 years as a civilian nurse. The 1st thing I noticed was the fact the we do not scan meds! lol - Along with many other things you mentioned :) I will say that it does get better, and it is worth it in the long run for most people :) I wish everyone had more of a civilian background though, because it is interesting the level of expertise that is expected with "new" nurse officers. It does not mirror civilian nursing... but I digress :) I am grateful for this time and for the role I have :). Thanks for being bold enough to share!!!
Wow great comment! Thank you so much for your input and for watching! I agree I wish people would have more civilian experience before coming in as well! Glad to know it gets better lol
I’m pending my acceptance into the Air Force HPSP Medical Core for DO. Even though the nursing realm is totally different, your videos definitely give me perspective. My dad is a retired Army nurse after nearly 30 years of service, but he started out enlisted as a combat medic. He received all of the leadership experience he needed to take on being a medical officer when it was time. The crunched expectation to learn is definitely stressful and something to consider. Those extra responsibilities are killer. But the military takes care of so many civilian inconveniences. For me, it balances out, but it is something we have to think about thoroughly before making a decision. And your coworkers advice is on point!
I graduate in may and am going to be a civilian nurse for at least a year before joining! Your videos are so helpful and I’d love to hear more about your experiences in the air force!
You are so inspiring!
Looking into becoming an Air Force nurse! In nursing school now, thanks for posting videos about your life! I’ll be watching all of them for info!!!!
Thank you for your video! I was previously enlisted in the US Army as a medic and now am in nursing school with two semesters left. Was really excited about opportunity as an RN after being contacted via email by recruiter, however your video reminds me to be cautious and weigh my options before jumping into things.
Thank you for watching! Yes definitely weigh your options!
This is gold!
Many thanks from an ER nurse living in Seattle :)
Been thinking about going to the Navy as a nurse and this video was completely helpful to me. Will totally take this advice!
Eating my sweet & sour chicken! I love nursing tea ☕️ and bestie looking snatched 😍😍
Ayeeee yasss you know! 💕💕
Thank you for service, Lieutenant !
Being thrown in the frying pan is normal for all nursing. There isn't always formal training. You just come in and are told today you are in charge and bam you are a charge nurse!
That was my thought exactly!
Do nurses get to travel as much as anybody else in military/airforce?
New Subscriber! Just graduated Nursing School in August and took Nclex and passed! I have been thinking heavily about joining and came across your channel! Just want to say Thank you for your information!
I'm 18 and a medical Assistant and I'm looking in to that this was helpful! Thanks
Thank you for your honesty!!! It’s so important because people will NOT tell you at all!! I even had the assumption that you come in as just a nurse, but after watching your vblog for awhile I realize the responsibility!!
Can’t believe I’m late watching your videos (the college homework/studies has been real lol😪😅).
Hi! Me and you were at the Hampton Hospital at the same time! Wishing you all the best. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you for this video! Very informative. You are one of America's finest!
Thank you for watching!
Off-topic but wow how is your skin sooooo flawless!!??
This was such a great video, Jay! You are absolutely right about possibly not having the time as an enlisted member to go to nursing school at any time. I am an enlisted member and I am actually separating from the AF this year so that I can start nursing school. I work on the flight line and attending a Traditional BSN program full time ontop of working full time, volunteering, AND maintaining my fitness would just be extremely stressful for me. I started following you on IG and subscribed to you here because I thought about applying to the NECP and commissioning as a nurse but then I decided that I wanted to be a civilian nurse instead. I still enjoy watching your videos and I think you should definitely continue to talk about your life as an AF nurse because they're super informative and there are very, very, very few AF officers on YT, let alone AF nurses.
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching! Good luck in nursing school, that’s so awesome 👏🏾 you are absolutely right in everything you’ve said as well. It’s so stressful at times trying to stay physically fit for PT test, do your job, be a “leader” just so much, IM ONE PERSON! 😫😑
Hi
I'm interested in joining Air Force as a nurse. Currently working in Kenya as a nurse
Have you ever thought about going guard/reserves? You can have the freedom of civilian jobs/satisfaction and get the "fun" part of military nursing from responding to natural disasters, deploying, much more flexibility and control of your career. There are maybe 7 AF hospitals conus as you know and many are used for training. I was AD inn the medical field, intrested inn doing NECP, but leadership was not supportive of my education, therefore transitioned to guard to complete courses for nursing school. I have seen both sides and all the nurses in my unit are so happy that they transitioned or remained guard/reserves. Plus each unit has different missions, so you can find what works best for you whether you want to continue clinical nursing or do flight, cerfp, or any other options.
Hi, I don’t know if you had any student loan debt before joining the military. But could u do a video talking about loan repayments in the military and if you did have student loans how the military is going to help with paying it off:)- PS: I love your videos
Sydney Mason I am in the Army National guard, what they told me was make sure it is in your contract to get loan repayment. Then after basic training or what not, bring in paper work, and they will handle it.
Hair and make-up, bomb. I'm surprised they don't scan meds, WOW! You mentioned being floated down to the ER. Is there a noticeable difference in a civilian hospital and a military one? Do they admit most patients or transfer them to an OSH? Do they have a 24-hour observation unit? Do they turn pts. away who are not current/former servicemen? Anyways, have a good one!
Thanks girl! Not too much of a difference. We don't turn patients away but we see service men/retireed members, and dependents!
Wow you changed your hairstyle, it fits you.
Thank you!
Former AF military personnel officer. These commissioning opportunities are great. Check them out.
This is great information thanks for sharing bc I was thinking about going to the National Guard to pay for nursing school. But after getting in nursing I now know I wouldn’t have the time.
Thank you for your insight. You're strengthening my resounding YES
Thank u, i almost skipped ur video because I was envious that u were a nurse, i have a degree but am only allowed to enroll enlisted so I wanted to go and do school for nursing, ur video was so helpful thank u so much
I’m glad you decided to watch and that it was helpful for you!
Not being selected is what scares me about becoming a commissioned officer and having to be ejected.
Great video! I've thought of joining once I lose enough weight to join and I never considered how different civilian versus military nursing would be.
I found your channel cause I am currently in the airforce reserve but looking to commission and doing nursing I work in a hospital currently as a CNA/phlebotomists I wanted to find a RN program but I’m trying to find out how to go about it.. but I loved your video.
Great video!! I've been waiting for something like this for a while (generally speaking)
I'm 20 and I'm going into the air force. I feel like it's too late to go in, even though I should've joined when I turned 18.
Ahsomecosplayer why?
Ahsomecosplayer why?
I'm going back at 34...Good luck.. mind your studies have a career plan.
Awesome! I am 45 and going back into the military (PRIOR SERVICE), but I decided to finally get my RN. I was a 4N0 in the Air Force. Any thoughts ?
😂😂😂😂 you caught me . 45 and missing it
Im in highschool and planned on joining the Air force, my plans before that were becoming a Nurse (not for the military) but now I wanted to join for the Air Force.
What path would I have to take to be a Nurse in the Military?
All of it can be quiet confusing,there's so many options to do
Alyssa Beth my exact situation
Alyssa Beth omg me to girl
Go to college and get a degree. Join as an officer
You will need to go through a civilian nursing program at a university. From there you will need to pass the NCLEX and get your RN (Registered Nurse) License. After that you will be a Nurse, you can then join the military specifically Airforce as a Nurse. You may be able to get the military to pay for Nursing school if you sign a contract with them saying youll go in after you graduate. The same goes for any Nursing specialty. Whether you want to be a RN, CRNA, Nurse Practitioner....you have to achieve that outside of the military and then go in as that. You got this!
Get your nursing degree first. A two year nursing program at a local community college is a good start. Look for a program that has good clinical experience. You can then bridge over to a BSN or a BSN/MSN. Most civilian hospitals have tuition assistance. Working a Two-Day-Alternative would help with est a predictable schedule. I did this for my BSN and MBA. I wish I had received my MSN instead since it would better prepare me for teaching in a two year program in my senior years.
love your hair and trim...
I loved the video, it sounds exciting and intense at the same time! could you elaborate a little more on what a "package for promotion" entails? & what are the realistic chances of your 'package' not being selected?
Imagine an Air Force where we actually focus on our jobs!!!
-Coming from Aircrew
Hey just found this video thank you very informative ..... I think I’m older so my views and experience are very different but I’ve been a civilian nurse for 10 years . I understand the frustration you may be going through but with that being said maybe since I’m old, but I think that when you join the military as a nurse you understand that you are there to serve your country and sometimes during times of war circumstances are not ideal and you have to just roll with the punches and get it done. I’ve worked many many years as an emergency room nurse and things get crazy and ugly and you have to perform your duty to the best of your ability . And anyone who isn’t ready for that may need to reconsider 👵🏽🤷🏽♀️I’m 36 and thinking of joining the navy reserve and have understand that. Thank you again and look forward to your Videos
THANKS GIRL FOR YOUR INTELL
Thanks for the info!! Your videos are so helpful!!
Suggested is how I found u, thank you youtube!
Is it “ hard “ moving up in rank as an officer . That seems like a lot of pressure . & will the discharge be dishonorable? Will we at least get to keep the benefits . :( god forbid we don’t “make it”
I'm a reserve maintainer and I'm going to nursing school. Thank you for the great videos and being honest.
How long do you stay as air force nurse? Do you get job quickly after the military?
So honest! thank you for the video
You look stunning in this video.... keep working hard.
Learnt of your channel through Fatima .
lmao i love the popeyes cup
Thanks for the info! My COT date is coming up in June and I'll also be joining as a nurse. For the loan repayments, are you just deferring your loans or how are you managing them since you are still waiting for the AF to make payments? thanks!
Do the nurses still have to do basic training?
Tkendriona Gilliam no,officer training
I love the video thank you for the advice this is inspiring and I want to become a nicu nurse in the air force.
Hey I don’t know if you’ll see this! But I’ve really considering going through Air Force ROTC to get my nursing degree! My husband is in the army currently so I understand spouse side of military life. He works 3-15 hours a day 😂 what should I expect hours wise, and do you to choose between job locations(clinics or hospital)? How may times have you been deployed?
Please do a video on single moms in the Air Force as a health professional officer
I am not able to do that, this is a topic I don't know anything about
Do you know of any program where a civilian bsn with icu experience can join and go directly to crna school through the air force?
I just found your channel and it’s so helpful because I’m considering joining and am currently 3 years of out of school as an RN! What are the living situations like for an officer in the nurse Corp?
What if you want to join as a specialty nurse? Will they just put you wherever or will they put you in the specialty you want to work with. I want to work with OBGYN, and I dont know how I would do being put as like a flight nurse or an emergency nurse because Im not good on seeing those huge bloody accidents
Sydnee Ramsey If you have enough experience which is 6 months or greater in your specialty then you can join and work in that specialty!
I graduate in 4 months with my BSN. Will get Civilian nursing experience like you recommend. I want The military to pay my loans. Why is it not an easy process and why does it take so long? Just wondering? You are now in grad school and you are still waiting. Why? I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Thank you.
thanks for sharing these tips
first off this is my dream job and what i strive to do when im older! did you go the officer candidate school route or rotc in college?
Hi, Ive completed all of my Nursing prerequisites and I want to go into the Air Force. Will they help me on my journey of becoming a registered nurse?
Hi Jay I enjoy watching your channel. Can you do a video about doctor nurse relationship in the military and compare it to civilian.
I’ll jot that down!
Thank you so much 😘
Thank you for your video. I will be graduating in Aug with my BSN and have already spoken with a recruiter. I really want to do this but I will take into consideration what you said about being a civilian nurse first. I also have a 5 year old to think about a lot of decisions need to be made.
Thank you for watching! Good luck in your future decisions!
Thanks for taking the time to do this vid with your most honest opinion. I have MEPS tomorrow and this may be a far reach but do you happen to know any info on flight nursing? I plan to join as a flight nurse. There isn’t a lot of info on the Internet about it and it bums me out! Anyway, keep making these amazing videos. They are always helpful.
P.S I noticed that you have a tragus piercing. Do you keep it on at work?
You're welcome, thank you for watching! I don't have much information on flight nursing! I keep my tragus in because I work night shift and we can bend the rules a little lol! Shsss hahaha
Do you have to be a RN before joining the military
Is lpn experience still considered as nursing experience in the military. I was an lpn working home health and now am an rn adn working to get my degree. What advice do u for me think to join the military? Thanks
Unfortunately they only count experience gained after having your BSN!
How would those more advanced roles (office , managerial roles) affect you as you progress in terms of being a nurse practitioner? Won’t you mostly be at bedside then?
Currently in my BSN program now... I did 5 years active/enlisted Navy and was granted an early-out for continuing education under honorable conditions, I loved the structure, but I am interested in going back in but on the air force side as commissioned officer I am doing intensive research, but limited patient interaction would be a deal breaker for me 😩 especially as new grad OR graduating a residency program. Thank you for your insight! 😘
Thank you for the information, I’m doing a term paper on nursing. How long are you allowed to wait to make an attempt to rank up as an officer.
You are a saint
Great video!!
Thank you!!!
Can i enlist and then go to nursing school while serving and become an RN for the air force??.
research NECP
Yes you can
Love your channel so much ❤💋i want to become a nurse in the army but i know it will take a while for everything to happen
I want to enlist in the Air Force or the Army, and I know that I can be in either of those branches while doing college at the same time. Right now I'm really leaning towards the Army, but would I be guaranteed a position as a nurse or would I just be an enlisted soldier and not a nursing officer?
I'm 27 and hoping to start the nursing program soon. I know you say it's better to get civilian nurse experience first before joining the Air Force, but I don't want to wait too late and then be too old to join. Will it be much harder on a nurse who does not have civilian nursing experience or is that something I can work around?
No it won’t be harder I only say that based off my experience. New grads can join the military and go through a program called NTP (nurse transition program) it’s like a residency program
I thought they stopped the student loan repayments. 😳 Is that something you negotiated into your contract?
It was not stopped in 2016 when I signed my contract. It has since stopped since I’ve been in. Everyone who signed was still eligible and received their payment
Jay Quinn That makes sense. I’m applying to the NECP (Nurse enlisted commissioning program) and I’ve been trying to find videos about nurses in the Air Force. Though you weren’t prior enlisted I enjoy your videos and they’re very informative. I do want to ask how did they or you choose what speciality you’ll perform as a nurse?
Thank you. Oh ok! I was able to choose ICU because I had prior experience in the ICU as a civilian so I qualified for that speciality code.
Jay Quinn Nice. I hope I get the same so It’ll be easier to apply for a CRNA program.
Do you have to go to nursing and graduate before being a nurse in the AF? Or can they train you like other jobs in the AF?
I think about joining all the time but I don’t think I could ever let go of my civilian freedom.
Yeah it's a big step! Thanks for watching!
Hello, I am in the process of putting in my package to go officer as an RN now. I am really wondering how the student loan situation is. I know you said its not a fast process but I am wondering how long does it actually take for them to start paying on your loan? how much do they pay per year? and how do they disperse the payments? I am also wondering what the pay is like start as 2nd LT. Because it looks extremely low compared to what you could make as a civilian so I am just really worried about that too.
shannieelala It took over a year for my loans to be paid and they pay in one lump sum to your lender. You don’t touch the money. You can see pay charts online but i did take a cut in pay when I joined. You are paid salary based not hourly in the military. You will “break even” and then some the more you move up in rank. It does help with the BAH and etc.
Hey i was wondering and i wanted to know if i can make more money there i am a Registered nurse right now in kaiser permanente in Southern California making 67 hr and about to finish my Family nurse practitioner in 2 years and was thinking to join then with a master degree and see if its worth to join was wondering if i get paid pretty good and would i be able to get free housing with my family if i stay in base
THANK YOU
What’s the rationale of not scanning meds at the bedside?? I literally cannot fathom that lol
There's no rationale for a lot of things I've seen!
You are beautiful!
you'r so sexy
Why r u still waiting on loan repayment?
2nd Lt as a charge nurse....in house supervisor? Aren't charge nurses mainly 1st Lts and Capts? Plus, making a comparison of an in house supervisor as a chief nurse on steroids is not an accurate description. CN are Lt Cols and not floor nurses and handle the careers of all nurses in the Medical Group. As for Captains, they do work as staff nurses however, the additional time is used for additional duties. It is not until you are a senior Capt to Maj where you are more of an Admin role such as element leader and flight commander. Please don't give false information or fluffed up information on nursing in the military.
No they are not just 1st Lts. I wouldn’t say I was a charge nurse if I wasn’t acting in that role. I have a charge nurse and I’ve also been the house supervisor!
So is it better to get some civilian experience and then enlist?
In my opinion yes. It's more helpful!
did you gain your RN from the airforce? i am a lna now, i wanna go to rn and join the air force i just lack a lot of confidence and i waanna meet with a ecruiter but they told me get your highschool finished first im a sad dropout. or what should i do reserve or full time. whats it like in the air force like a daily day does the asvab also chose your job or weather or not you can go to a nursing program?
I was a nurse before the Air Force. Yes please finish high school first. It's required.
🗣New subbie! 💜
Thank you for your support! 💜
What are the benefits of being a military nurse
Hey Jay Quinn
I am a 34 years old female. I am want to join the Air Force. I have bachelors in criminal justice and now I am getting my ASN in nursing. I would Some advice should I wait to get my BSN first before starting the process. Please let me know.
I would go be an officer in the military
Have to be BSN for nursing in the AF
I have a question. I'm currently in the Marine Corps and I want to become a Nurse afterwards. Should I start to get my pre reqs out the way with TA? Also what are military friendly schools? Also could I get my degree and become a nurse in the Air Force or Army? What is the process? Any tips are appreciated. Thanks
David Williams Yes get prerequisites out of the way. Look for yellow ribbon schools, those are the military friendly ones. Once you have your BSN you can join the army navy or Air Force Nurse Corp. Just go and talk to a health professions recruiter to start the process
Jay Quinn ok. I might go a different route. I'm 25 now I'll be 27 when I leave the Marines in 2020. I will get my ADN, work then my BSN
Jay Quinn Thanks for your reply
Hi, if I am going to be a reserve do I choose my base camp?
Do flight nurses attend BMT or just COT
So I like to know pay and why did you go active duty and not reserve or guard?
Pay can be see on military pay charts which are online. I choose active duty because I wanted to get the “full” military experience in my opinion
Jay Quinn if it get to hard then I hope you come to the reserve side or guard. I hope to see you on 1 of my bases and good luck.
Legitwish all these military people would put outlines in the info section. It’s 2018 no one wants to listen to 20mins of anything
Seems like 13k thought otherwise. Thanks for clicking, coin collected 😁
How is it for an officer nurse practitioner???
What happens to the loans while waiting and how long have you been waiting? Also how long does it take to go up in rank?
You can pay them if you want or put them in deferment. It’s up to you, they continue to incur interest as all loans do though
Jay Quinn, thanks I had some questions but do not want to post here they are personal, if you do not mind is there a way to email you? I am reall at cross roads on whether to join or not and would be nice to get some questions answered before I decide from someone other than a recruiter. I graduate BSN this summer. Thanks
DM me on instagram and I'll give you my email
Jay Quinn, I am new on instagram, I do not see where to DM you on your page. Have a link?
@@JayQuinn92 Can I DM you for your email as well? I have so many questions!
how many days u work /wk as officer nurse?
Hey! I knew your face looked familiar, you're Fatima's bestie lol... but i have a question, do you know of any midwives in the air force ? If you do can you lend me info please!! That's what i would like to do in the air force, but i feel like most of the mid wives are over seas... please help!
Do u need a BSN? I currently hold ADN...
Yes BSN is a requirement
