If I decided to go into the Air Force for Nursing how much/ how long would it take to become a Registered Nurse ?
I'm a junior in high school graduating as a CNA (Certified Nursing assistant). I am interested in going into the air force for a cheaper college. However I'm not sure how long it takes to get to that position.

Forever - is my first thought. Most of the people I saw on VA scholarships tended to join after they left service. Nursing school is not something you can do on the side. So you would have to put a few years in, and then start your prerequisites, then finally get to your school. Most of the veterans in my class were in their thirties.

Hi LaRissa,
I have included a link to theUS Air Forces Career page. You would also need to talk with a recruiter. Hopes this helps and good luck. Thank your picking a very important career choice.
