What is the Meaning?.......

[Princesshawty]

I have done hours and hours, days and days of research on the Navy and bein a nurse in the Navy, but what i wanted to know is: What is the difference between NROTC, AROTC & Navy? What is the Nurse Corps and how can someone qualify for the Nurse Corps? Also which is best to do? I dont mean to sound dumb or ask alot of questions, but its better for me to ask then to get in a situation that im not ready for so i hope i can get some help here, lol! Thanks in advance!

NROTC is the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps, and is a college program that prepares you to be comissioned as an officer after college graduation. Here is the website: http://www.nrotc.navy.mil

AROTC is the Army version.

If you are past college, there is the direct commission route for nurses, where you go to Officer Development School.

I think that all Nurses in the Navy are part of the Navy Nurse Corps. In order to be a navy nurse, you must have a BSN, pass a physical exam, be within height and weight standards, pass a physical fitness test and have a current nursing license. There's more requirements, I'm sure. these are just a few.

I'm doing a lot of research so I can make up my mind about joining the Navy. PM me if you have any questions!
