Requirments for the army to pay for nursing college?

Question

I was told that the army will pay for nursing school/college if you go to boot camp and stuff.

But if you get the army to completely pay for nursing school/college then do you have to go to be a soldier and fight in war and stuff like that for a certain amount of time? Or do you just go to the boot camp and just finish school after that ?

Answer 1

No... The army will not pay for any of that. if you go to boot camp you will not get out!

Answer 2

That answer above is completely wrong.  You go through ROTC at your college.  They will pay for your college, and even give you a monthly bonus (stipend = 500 dollars).  You DO NOT have to go to boot camp.  After your junior year you do have to go to something called Warrior Forge in Washington but its 3 weeks and theres no drill seargents or anything, its relaxed training.  After you finish college you have to serve 4 years active duty army, which means you will be a nurse/doctor for the army, and yes you might get deployed but its not like youre going to be out doing missions, you'll be back in a safe area.  Think of that on your resume.  Its not bad having a 40,000 dollar job with a free house right out of college.  If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
