to a hefty financial liability that can take years to overcome. The
Nurse Candidate Program provides a monthly stipend for full time
students in accredited Bachelor of Science Nursing programs. Students
can enroll after their sophomore year and receive an initial grant of
$10,000 (paid in two installments of $5000 each), plus $1000 a month for
up to 24 months.
After graduation, participants join the Navy Nurse Corps as an Officer, with the opportunity to earn a competitive salary, regular promotions, comprehensive medical and dental coverage, low cost travel opportunities, excellent retirement and educational benefits, further training, and a rewarding clinical practice. Additional benefits include 30 days of paid vacation a year, use of military recreational facilities around the world, the opportunity to serve around the world in a variety of facilities, and be a part of supportive team of highly trained professionals.
