The Army Nurse Corps is the branch of the Army composed of professional, college prepared nurses. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing is the minimal entry level. As nurses progress in experience, seniority and rank, most will go back to school and obtain their Masters Degree. About 10% of Senior Nurse Corps officers have their PhD. The Army provides financial support and duty time to obtain advanced degrees. The Nurse Corps is part of the AMEDD – the Army Medical Department.
