About this role
There's more to nursing than bedside care—so much more. This position allows you to grow as a healthcare leader and serve as an officer in the U. S. Air Force. As a Registered Nurse, you'll care for fellow Airmen and their families—as a patient advocate and problem-solver—in both inpatient and outpatient settings. You will also get the opportunity to guide others and enjoy unique experiences only found in the Air Force.
