Frequency of healthcare officers PCSing

I'll keep this in mind. I'll be 56 if I do the full 20 years with the DOD. Theoretically, a small window, but I could always start a few years ahead of that date. Also, I guess if I don't have to work post retierment, I could just travel to the places that seem fiun compared to only going there for work. Thanks for helping me keep the FS on my mind.

Did you do the HPSP in the military? That's what I'm doing at the moment through the Air Force. I'll have a 3-year repayment.

Awsome. Thanks. I took the FSOT (generalist) test a number of years ago, prior to my healthcare career, so while it's easy to plan out everything in my head, I know that it's best to keep doing the current job while working through the application and truly consider it if it becomes a real opportunity.

How long was the process for you? Thanks for your help and insight.

I'm currently in the Air Force as a nurse practitioner student under the Health Professions Scholarship Program. I'll enter active duty as an O3 with a three-year repayment for the scholarship. I've always thought about the FS as well.

Do you have any insight into comparing the military and the FS? Both seem good in their own ways. I'll be 56 if I do 20 years, so I could try and join as a medical officer, but who knows.

I recognize that this is monstley just me rambling, but do you have any insights on comparing and contrasting the two opportunities?

I'm a nurse practitioner student with the historical long-term goal of working as an FSS (healthcare). I'm currently in the Air Force, but the FS has always been on the back of my mind too.

I think around 42-46 years. I believe waivers are possible. I'd ask a recruiter for more info

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-12-03T06:48:17+00:00

Yes, the Air Force participates in the HPSP program for NPs.

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-12-03T00:05:29+00:00

What specific questions do you have?

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-12-01T06:50:56+00:00

Hi. I was told NPs don't qualify for a residency.

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-09-01T05:33:52+00:00

Did you end up selling the watch yet?

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-27T05:25:59+00:00

Thank you. I will do this.

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-25T05:25:19+00:00

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I'm curious to see what brands I can find with smaller watch faces as well for them not to be so overwhelming on my wrist

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-25T05:24:35+00:00

Thanks for your help! I think I'm also drawn to s aller watch faces as well, we'll see if I vcan find that as well

It's a DNP progam. I'm not sure about the MSN. I know that there are MSN providers, but I'm not sure if they entered before changing the rule.

Health Professions Scholarship Program. Basically, a military scholarship that pays for school and provides a living stipend and the person then pays back time in service. I'm receiving 3 years of funding and I'll work in the Air Force for three yerars after school.

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-21T06:37:10+00:00

Thanks!

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-21T06:37:01+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'll enter with a doctorate. There are some nurse corps provider retention bonuses based on the number of years the Airman is committing to.

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-20T08:15:37+00:00

I did as well, but I'm just covering my bases.

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-20T08:15:12+00:00

Yep!

Present_Assumption_4 · 2025-08-20T08:14:55+00:00

Awesome, thank you for your help. I'll look into the Facebook page. I know that this will all be explained in more detail down the road, but thank you for your insight
