ARMY ROTC NURSING
The Army Nurse Corps offers endless opportunities for cadets looking to become nurses. Being a nursing cadet allows for unique experiences and leadership challenges. Along with the core nursing classes, cadets are fully involved in the ROTC curriculum. Our program offers, but does not require, nursing cadets the opportunity to take their junior level Military Science class as a sophomore to allow for more focused time on junior year nursing classes and clinical. After their junior year, nursing cadets can attend NSTP* (Nurse Summer Training Program) where they train as an Army Nurse in a variety of locations ranging from Washington, to DC, to Landstuhl, Germany! Our cadets graduate and commission not only as highly skilled, empathetic, and prepared nurses, but competent and confident Army Officers as well.
