NURSING IN THE RAF
The work that Princess Mary ’ s Royal Air Force Nurses ( PMRAFNS ) do is vital ; it demands the highest standards and brings the greatest rewards – get paid to train , travel the world and find friends for life .
The RAF prides itself on providing the very best medical service to personnel injured on operations .
As a nurse in the PMRAFNS , you will have the opportunity of a unique career and being challenged , sometimes testing your skills to the limits .
You will work alongside the NHS within a Joint Hospital Group ( JHG ) and could work within a large primary care practice before eventually getting the opportunity to work overseas and dealing with issues that go well beyond the NHS ; such as caring for patients in challenging land and airborne environments . This will give you a wider perspective on medical care and a unique set of specialist skills ; most notably skills in Aeromedical Evacuation .
In the PMRAFNS you will probably move every three to five years . You will have the opportunity in each of the qualified nurse roles to step away from the full-time clinical and develop an abundance of other skills .
Throughout your career you will be supported with training and the potential to do further academic study as well as the chance to stretch yourself in other areas , perhaps by taking part in adventurous training such as rock climbing , skiing and sailing .
