If nursing is your professional goal, there is no better place to begin your career than in Army ROTC. Army ROTC offers a unique opportunity to gain practical life experience and leadership training. Qualified Nursing majors can compete for 2, 3 and 4-year scholarships.
You have chosen a demanding profession. Medical emergencies require a cool head and clear thinking. Army ROTC uses physical training, leadership labs and confidence building activities (i.e. rappelling, obstacle courses) to physically and mentally challenge students. Making the most of your skills, building a sense of confidence, and helping you realize your leadership and management potential are what Army ROTC is all about.
As a ROTC nurse cadet, you will be able to combine college electives in military science and invaluable nurse summer training experience with your regular nursing program.
Upon completion of the program and graduation from college you will receive a commission as an officer in the Army Nurse Corps, ready to take on the challenges of your profession in one of the military medical treatment facilities in the U.S., Germany or Korea. You will find that your Army ROTC experience has taken you a long towards realizing your professional goals.
