Nurse Corps

The Nurse Corps, officially known as the United States Navy Nurse Corps, is a branch of the U.S. Navy that provides professional nursing care to sailors, Marines, and their families. Established in 1908, the Nurse Corps employs registered nurses to serve in various roles, including clinical care, administrative, and leadership positions, often in challenging environments, like hospitals or on ships. Members also support humanitarian missions and disaster relief efforts. Nurse Corps officers are trained to deliver high-quality healthcare while upholding Navy values and can advance their careers through additional training and education.
