When you think about the decision of selecting
the profession of nursing as a career, you should
ask your self, what does it take to be a nurse?
It isn't about white shoes and wearing a stethoscope
around your neck. It's not just being understanding
and compassionate or the nursing degree itself.
The profession of nursing demands the ability
to think quickly and clearly in an emergency.
For instance, when in certain situations you
are the vital link between your patient and their
life. To be successful, you need the ability
to quickly evaluate a situation, determine the
best course of action, and take charge. And that's
what Army ROTC is uniquely qualified to teach.
Army ROTC enhances your education by providing
the unique leadership and management training,
along with the practical experience needed for
success, either in the Army or in a civilian
career.
As an Army ROTC nursing student, you'll be combining
college electives in Military Science with your
regular nursing program. You'll develop the judgment
and self-confidence required to excel in today's
fast-paced nursing environments. You'll gain
the ability to analyze situations quickly, make
decisions, and to understand what it takes to
carry them out. Through your expert abilities
as a thinker and a decision-maker, you will earn
the respect of your fellow students and faculty.
“Here at UC… The University of Cincinnati Army ROTC program is second to none. Although I have been a member of the Armed Forces for over seven years, the ROTC program has thought me much more than I could ever expected. Discipline and leadership are only a few traits that I have received and use not only in the military, but as a nurse as well. The training instilled a sense of pride, patriotism, and self-confidence that would normally take years on the hospital floors. The University of Cincinnati ROTC staff was more than willing to assist me with the rigorous schedule experienced by all nursing students. I would highly recommend this program to any young nursing student who felt that they needed a little challenge in their curriculum.”
