Army Nursing

I have been looking into going into the Army for nursing. I would like to go in with my bachelors and maybe even do ROTC. I'd like to get some opinions from people who have also done this, what your experience is like, where you went to school, how everything works, etc.

    If you want to go into the Army as a nurse you will need your BSN. If you are just beginning your nursing education contact a ROTC consoler, if you are getting close to finishing contact a health care recruiter. Becoming a Army nurse is very competitive right now. You need at least 2 years of experience along with a strong resume. This year the Army is only bringing on 10 direct commission nurses. That is nurses who already have their BSN. As far as ROTC goes not all of the new graduates are being offered active duty positions, some are going to the reserves.

    You should browse the threads for "government and military nursing." You'll find different routes of applying, steps, and tips regarding what should be in your application. ROTC (and keeping good grades while there) is the only sure fire thing to getting an active duty nurse job. From experience, direct commission is a long, tough road. Direct commission may not be as financially lucrative either (depending on the branch you're looking at); ROTC will cover 100% of your loans---direct commission won't cover the tax liability on them.
