Navy Nurse Corps

The Navy Nurse Corps is a specialized branch of the U.S. Navy comprised of registered nurses who provide healthcare services to military personnel, their families, and others in military settings. These nurses work in hospitals, clinics, and aboard ships or submarines, delivering emergency and routine medical care. They also play key roles in disaster response, medical readiness, and humanitarian missions. Members of the Nurse Corps must have nursing degrees and meet military training requirements. Their work supports both the health of service members and the operational readiness of the Navy, combining advanced nursing skills with military discipline and versatility.
