Army Nurse Corps or Air Force

Published

I am currently a sophmore in college planning to transfer to a 4 year university. I am planning on applying for their nursing program. I have contemplated joining the Army Nurse Corps or the Air Force Nurse Corps, the school I will hopefully be attending offers ROTC programs for both of those. My family is very military based and I like the idea of working for the military. I have always liked the thought of Trauma surgery, but decided nursing was where my life was taking me. I am a young female adult and was wondering if anyone could give me any input on either of the Nurse Corps. I have no experience in the military and dont know which way to go or if I should just stay a civilian and hope for finding a good nursing career post graduation. Does anyone have any experience in the Nurse Corps? I would love to hear input of what its like and where they deploy.

Thank you for taking the time to help!

Each service has its pros and cons. You need to speak with a healthcare recruiter to see which one would be the best fit for you. With the drawdown of the services going ROTC is a good choice to ensure that you have a spot once you graduate. I would start the process right away since spots are limited. Good luck.
