NROTC Nurse Option

[cmr18]

I am currently in the NROTC program with a 4 year Nurse Option Scholarship.

However, there's very little information about the Nursing ROTC Program available on the website.

Does anyone know anything about the Nurse summer cruises specifically? Or has anyone gone through or knows anyone who has gone through this program? I'd love to hear about anyone's experiences!

My DD is a 3/C Nurse option and did the "Nurse Afloat" cruise last summer. When she came home in mid-May following spring semester she still didn't have her orders but they came a few days later. In early June she went to San Diego to board the USS Essex (LHD-2) (Wasp-class amphibious assault ship). In less than 24 hours following her arrival they were underway for 17-18 days at sea. She was assigned to the medical department and worked primarily with Hospital Corpsman. From what I was told she learned a lot and had a great experience.
