Mission

The NSTP clinical Elective provides Army ROTC nurse cadets with clinical experience in a hospital setting while introducing them to the duties, roles, responsibilities and expectations of an Army Nurse Corps (AN) officer. The nurse cadet will exercise leadership skills in a hospital environment by planning, organizing, decision making, implementing and being accountable for the outcome of nursing care. The overall goal is to encourage students to develop leadership strategies through learning experiences throughout the clinical elective. Nurse cadets will collaborate with health care professionals on decisions related to patient care, management, unit issues and strategies utilized in the provision of medical care to a select population.
