Hello Cymro,

The (USA) Army Nurse Corps was established in 1901. However, not until AUG 1955 were males authorized reserve commissions for male nurses in the ANC. Then, not until 11 years later [30 SEP 1966] Public Law 89-609 authorized regular commissions for males in the Army Nurse Corps.

Also, (Active Component) Army Nurse Corps officers are at minimum BSN. Whereas, LVNs & medics (EMT) are enlisted Soldiers.
