impossible for recent rotc grads to become nurses in army??

[hershdawg]

I have read on goarmy.com and on other various army forums that the army will only commission nurses who have at least one year of supervised experience. Does this apply to ROTC students as well, seeing as most of them have no real nursing experience other than the the normal stuff you would see in clinical??

This is probably only in reference to those who are seeking direct commission, not those already in ROTC. ROTC grads are a bit different, as far as I know.

Lunah is right, the Army is not going to spend money on a ROTC cadets education and then not use them.
