Making the most of your skills, building a sense of confidence, and helping you realize your leadership and management potential are what Army ROTC is all about. As an Army ROTC nurse cadet, you will be able to combine college electives in military science and invaluable nurse summer training experience with your regular nursing program. You will develop your professional skills while you learn some meaningful things about yourself and what you can accomplish. You will find that your Army ROTC experience has taken you a long way toward realizing your professional goals. In some colleges or universities nursing students face tough competition to get into clinical nursing classes, usually the beginning of their junior year.
Some nursing schools admit five freshmen for every clinical nursing seat.
They guarantee progression of qualified Army ROTC nurse cadets into the clinical nursing classes. Texas Christian University earned its Partnership in Nursing Education status in 1996. 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.
