The Cadets are assigned to a military treatment facility (MTF) and precepted by an Army Nurse officer. They are introduced to the duties, roles, responsibilities, and expectations of an officer and given the opportunity to provide hands-on nursing care in a variety of patient settings. For most Cadets, their nursing internship is preceded by the physically and mentally demanding 35-day Cadet Summer Training event. NSTP provides the ROTC nurse cadet the opportunity to coalesce the leadership lessons learned from CST into the hospital setting.
