The nurse cadet will exercise leadership skills in a hospital environment by planning, organizing, decision making, implementing and being accountable for the outcome of nursing care. The overall goal is to encourage students to develop leadership strategies through learning experiences throughout the clinical elective. Nurse cadets will collaborate with health care professionals on decisions related to patient care, management, unit issues and strategies utilized in the provision of medical care to a select population. The NSTP is a three-week clinical elective for Army ROTC nurse cadets.
Attendance is voluntary.
This paid elective is conducted at Army hospitals in the United States, Germany and Korea. You attend NSTP during the summer with Advanced Camp, which is usually attended between the Junior and Senior year of college. Partnership in Nursing Education Programs award academic credit for this program. And by the end of the summer, NSTP will have shown you a preview of the real world of nursing, developed your professional skills and given you valuable insights into your abilities.
