You are a thinker and decision maker, earning the respect of your colleagues and the people who work for you. When you go to ER during the ROTC summer training, you get hands-on experience. I was able to draw blood and start IV's. There's no limit to what you can learn. And I'm looking forward to being an officer because being a leader and being able to take initiative are part of being a good nurse.
Nursing is an extremely competitive degree program.
Historically, an increasing number of Army nurse cadets experienced difficulty in gaining acceptance into the clinical nursing classes. In some colleges or universities nursing students face tough competition to get into clinical nursing classes at the beginning of their junior years and, in some cases, as early as their sophomore years. Some nursing schools admit five times the number of freshmen for every available clinical nursing slot. However, at many schools their GPA may often be insufficient to overcome the competition to gain acceptance into clinical nursing classes. The University of San Francisco School of Nursing understands that ROTC cadets make better students and their Army training will make them better nurses.
