Hello! I am a high school senior graduating now on May 2016. Im entering college in August I want to study nursing and also I have been accepted into two nursing schools and one gave me a full scholarship. I want to be a future military nurse if not active duty (which for now i want) or reserves! Im confused if joining the ROTC (Would be Army Rotc) its the one offered in both colleges I desire or if not joining now and wait untill 2020 that i graduate as a nurse and join the Army , Air Force or Navy as a direct comission officer. What would be my best choice if ai have to study hard and ROTC classes and PT would take time off that I will need and im not a contracted cadet untill the second year and because I have college paid already i'm not worrying about the money they can offer. My real question is if i choose to study normal and when I graduate try and join as direct comission what would be my chances of getting in? I know with ROTC im in for sure but if i dont join it will i be left out? Is Air Force or Navy nurses a better branch to join? Also does anyone know the best states nurses get paid well or the specializations that are desired these days? What would be a good masters degree specialty to choose besided the Anesthesia one? Thankss in advanced and sorry for the testament have a great day! Im 17 years old by the way
