You have three options, Army, Navy or Air Force. First you'll need to read up on each branch and figure out which one you'd want to be a part of.

Personally, I went through the Nurse Candidate Program to join the Navy. I applied while I was in nursing school and commissioned immediately after graduation. You'll need to go through an extensive background check, spend weeks/months working on your application/package and you may need to take a physical fitness test before being accepted as well.

The best way to get information regarding requirements for each branch would be by reaching out to recruiters in your area. Make sure you speak with officer recruiters as each branch should have recruiters specifically for nurses in your area.
