Your profession doesn't make you "officer material," your values and skills count, but leadership isn't in Cliff's Notes.
Enlisted servicemen and women with high skills can do very well in the military, often become Warrant Officers with many officer benefits.

A Registered Nurse will be an officer if accepted by the military, the various assisting skills would be welcome in the medical corps of each service.
Good luck.
