If you follow the path you are asking about, you will attend Officer Indoctrination School, which is in Newport, RI.
It's a 2-3 week course where you learn how to wear the uniform, basic military customs and courtesies, very basic military history, some basic Navy administrative knowledge (such as an introduction to the Eval/FITREP system), among other topics.
This is NOTHING like the 9 week Recruit Training enlisted sailors go through at RTC Great Lakes, or the 13 week Officer Candidate School all Line (and some Staff) Officers go through at Pensacola, FL.

Nurses are Commissioned Officers, and as such do not attent Boot Camp in Great Lakes. They DO, however, attend a truncated form of OCS called OBC where they learn the basics of being an Officer.. how to salute, the rank structure, that sort of thing

You will go through indoctrination but not boot camp. I believe this is a two week coarse. You will receive your commission as a naval medical nurse. I believe that rank , just starting out is a Lieutenant JG.

Yes absolutely. Even if you go in to the officer corps they have a boot-camp for officers. (At least that was the case when I enlisted 28 yrs ago)

No, you will bypass to the scientific aspects version of OCS. Which from lots of the nurses I worked with is somewhat uncomplicated in comparison to the ordinary OCS as a results of actuality which you have docs and persons in simple terms slightly older in this class.

Not really;
basic officers course for medical officers; not easy but well set up for women-females and something that any person who made it through the college RN program can handle with ease. just be fit: jog, work out!
Visit the USN nurse Corps websites.
