There are advantages in Army ROTC that are not found in traditional nursing programs. As an ROTC nursing student, you'll combine college electives in military science with your regular nursing program. You'll also participate in an invaluable nurse summer training session. Overall, the Army Nurse Program will teach you the required professional skills needed to succeed in nursing, but it will also help you learn a great deal about yourself.

If nursing is your professional goal, there is no better place to begin your career than Army ROTC. Army ROTC offers you a unique opportunity to gain practical experience while you receive financial assistance for college. Nursing majors compete for 4, 3, or 2 year scholarships.

ROTC enhances your undergrauate nursing education by providing the unique leadership and management training, along with the practical experience needed for success, either in the Army or in a civilian career. You will develop your professional skills while you learn some meaningful things about yourself and what you can accomplish. You will also develop leadership skills, self-confidence, flexibility, and adaptability while having fun.
