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 focus on patient care, and work at the best military nursing facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field.
Responsibilities
Provide high‑quality nursing care in a variety of settings, including military treatment facilities (in the U.S. and overseas)
Deliver care in austere environments such as deployments and humanitarian aid missions
Provide care onboard ships, including aircraft carriers and hospital ships
Nursing in an austere environment could mean participating in humanitarian relief efforts, such as administering vaccinations in developing countries or providing emergency care to victims of natural disasters.
Navy Nurses collaborate with physicians, surgeons, cardiologists, and fellow nurses as colleagues and equals. Navy Nursing provides opportunities to develop leadership skills that set you apart.
Work Environment Active duty Navy Nurses may serve at any one of more than 250 Navy and medical facilities around the world, from Hawaii to Japan, Germany to Guam, and Washington, D.C., to Washington state. As a Navy Nurse, you could work at one of the highly acclaimed National Naval Medical Centers in Bethesda, MD; Portsmouth, VA; and San Diego, CA. You might also provide medical support aboard one of two dedicated hospital ships: the USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy.
Training & Advancement Upon commissioning, Navy Nurses are required to attend Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI. This five‑week program provides a comprehensive introduction to the responsibilities of Navy Staff Corps Officers, covering military structure, traditions, leadership development, and military etiquette. Promotion opportunities are regularly available but are competitive and based on performance.
Education Opportunities High school students: Through a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Nurse Option scholarship, the Navy can cover up to $180,000 of your nursing education at top colleges and universities. Nursing students: With the Nurse Candidate Program (NCP), you can receive an initial grant of $10,000, plus a stipend of $1,000 per month for up to 24 months, helping you pay for nursing school (up to $34,000 in assistance).
Qualifications & Requirements
Be a U.S. citizen currently practicing in the U.S.
Be a student or graduate in good standing of a U.S. nursing program accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)
Be licensed to practice in a U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or a U.S. territory (new graduates from NROTC or NCP must obtain a license within one year of beginning Active Duty)
Be willing to serve a minimum of three years of Active Duty
Be between the ages of 18 and 41
Be in good physical condition and pass a full medical examination
General qualifications may vary based on whether you intend to serve Active Duty or Reserve Duty, and whether you are currently serving, have served before, or have never served.
