I am a new AROTC nursing cadet and I am just curious if the nurse corps wears the same dress blues as other Army officers, or if they have their own uniform? Anyone have a picture of the uniform? I'm a guy, I know the female uniforms looks different and I'd like to see a guys uniform if possible. Thanks!!

We wear the same uniform as everyone else. Just google Army 2nd Lt uniforms and you'll see it. The difference are the unit and specialty badges (which you can also find all over the internet).
You may wear ACUs or scrubs at your job. It just depends on your commander.

I'll let this slide because you are a new cadet lol but yes the uniforms are the same with the branch colors being just like the rest of the medical branches (maroon and silver/white piping). The only caveat is the branch collar emblem which has a black N on the caduceus.

Google "Army Service Uniform"...the blues can be worn with a bow tie for formal occasions. There are also Mess Uniforms which are really fancy, but unless you are in an active unit, holding lots of dining outs...and you have a bunch of rank, you'll never have to deal with those. Marlowe White is pretty much the best online retailer if you want a higher quality cut and fabric.

Most of the time you will be wearing ACU's (The funny digital cam uniform). On special occasionas or payday activies you will most likely be wearing your ASU's, or army service uniform. This is the standard dress uniform across the Army. Your rank is identified on the shoulder bars, and your branch is identified on the collar of the neck. Because you are a nurse or will be a commissioned nurse you will wear the caduceus with a "N" in the middle of it for Nurse Corps. For more reference look up AR 670-1.
