AF Nurse Commissions Still Open

By: fedweek

An Air Force supplemental board is scheduled for October to select 50 additional candidates due to a shortfall in the number of qualified applicants for the Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program. Officials hope to fill those slots for the spring 2008 start date with airmen who want to complete their bachelor’s degree in nursing in two years or less. The program awards up to $15,000 in scholarship money to those who qualify. Applicants should have completed most or all of their prerequisite nursing classes. Interested airmen must advise Air Force Personnel Center officials of their intent to apply by Sept. 24, submit transcripts for an academic evaluation by Oct. 5, and submit their completed application by Oct. 15 to: AFPC/DPAMW 550 C Street West, Suite 27 Randolph AFB, TX 78150-4729. For more information call the Air Force Contact Center at 800-616-3775.
