As a member of the Army Nurse Corps, you’ll be given opportunities of a lifetime! Your role as an Army Officer will afford you the chance to care for your patients in a variety of settings. Army Nurses have autonomy to practice nursing in a way that is unmatched by civilian health care facilities. Your professional judgment will be the driving force behind leading your nursing team to provide full spectrum patient care.
The Army Nurse Corps believes in a holistic nursing philosophy. You’ll identify and organize multi-disciplinary resources for patients and their families to help them with inpatient, outpatient and home care. You’ll be able to understand the special concerns and needs of your Soldier patients because you’re also a Soldier, which allows you to better serve them. Identifying with your fellow Soldiers is essential to providing effective health care.
