About By the very nature of their duties, Navy Nurses quickly rise to the top of their profession. They provide care not only for military servicemembers and their families but also for people in need around the globe. Working with a team of talented colleagues united by a common mission, Navy Nurses have the opportunity to educate, lead, and shape policy within Navy health care. They also apply leading‑edge medical advances at world‑class hospitals, utilize advanced technology such as RFID to reduce paperwork, and work at the best military nursing facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field.
