 If
nursing is your professional goal, there is no better
place to begin your career than in Army ROTC. Army
ROTC offers you a unique opportunity to gain practical
experience while you receive financial assistance
for college.
You have chosen a demanding profession. Medical emergencies
require a cool head and clear thinking. 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 an ROTC nursing student, you will be able to combine
college electives in military science and invaluable
nurse summer training experience with your regular
nursing program. You will develop your professional
skills while you learn meaningful things about yourself
and what you can accomplish.
Upon completion of the program (and provided all
prerequisites are met), you will receive a commission
as an officer in the Army Nurse Corps, ready to take
on the challenges of your profession. You will find
that your Army ROTC experience has taken you a long
way toward realizing your professional goals.
