Our Cadets who are enrolled in the School of Nursing are also assigned to the Cadet Nurse Detachment.  Being in the Detachment enhances their nursing education by providing unique leadership and management training along with the practical experience needed for success, either in the Army, or in a civilian careers. Cadets focus primarily on obtaining their nursing degrees while being afforded the opportunity to participate in military activities offered by the Corps. The Army Nurse Cadet Detachment conducts visits to Army hospitals to provide future Army Nurse officers with a better understanding of the work environment that they will enter after graduating from North Georgia.
