alone, nursing students who are also Army ROTC Cadets benefit from
extensive one-on-one mentoring and training. You'll find out exactly
what it takes to become a leader in your medical field. If you're
considering an undergraduate nursing degree, enrolling in Army ROTC can
enhance your leadership skills and critical-thinking abilities while
providing financial support to help make your professional goals a
reality. Being a Nurse in the Army provides you with opportunities not
found in the civilian world. As an Army Nurse and Officer, you will have
the respect of your peers and coworkers as well as opportunities to
train and serve in a variety of specialties. Army ROTC's Nurse Summer
Training Program will give you the opportunity to truly fulfill the
promises of your training after graduation. Coordinating and
communicating patient care, you'll be in a clear position to succeed.
