NURSING
STUDENTS - THE ROTC EDGE!
| 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 the Army ROTC is all about. As a
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 some
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. Click on the movie below to see how Army ROTC
