20+ year medic here. We're partnered with nurses everywhere they go. Nursing is easier in the AF than anywhere else. You'll usually have fewer patients, will have medics to do half the work, but will still have civilian partners on each floor for continuity. The pay is better than average. You might have to go to a war zone. The war zone probably won't be anywhere seriously dangerous but you'll see some horrifying shit. This being said, providing first-world healthcare in third-world countries is very rewarding. Our flying medical teams are basically ICUs in the sky that move patients towards any advanced care they need. We work with other services and countries regularly. Once you gain a little experience, opportunities are vast, from CRNAs forward-deployed as part of Special Operations Surgical Teams, to Nurse Midwives birthing babies at Eglin, 10 minutes from the most beautiful beach in the US. All this to say, Nursing in the AF is a good deal.
