The ROTC provides an opportunity for college nursing students to receive practical, hands-on leadership experience. The courses provide a chance for students to develop management, communication and decision making skills in a non-threatening environment.
Students can enroll as a freshman, sophomore, or as late as their junior year in college.
Upon completion of the program, students are commissioned as officers in the Army Nurse Corps. The Nurse Summer Training Program provides nursing students an opportunity to practice leadership and clinical skills between their junior and senior year of upper division nursing. This is an exciting and confidence producing camp located at Ft. Lewis, Washington near, Tacoma. The student will learn valuable management and leadership skills and apply them in a health care environment.
