That depends on whether you enlist, or whether you join thru the Officer program or Warrant Officer program. When you get ready to join, ensure that you tell your recruiter that you will only go in as an officer or warrant officer. Unless, of course you want to be enlisted. Since you are studying medicine, you might want to check and see if there is an AMMED recruiter in your school. He/she can help you join as an officer in the medical branch.

You do just that. You go to school full time. Some of your classes will be ROTC. Some summers will be spent at various Army bases training. You do NOT have to enlist first. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to, but note that it is an option. The first step would be to choose a college that has an ROTC program. Apply and get accepted. Second step would be to contact the program director at that college. The program director will be an Army Officer. He or she will be able to answer all of your questions about scholarships and then get to registered for the program. This also works for AFROTC or NROTC just subsitute appropriate branch names. Even if you haven't been accepted to a specific college yet I would advise getting on the website of the college of your choice. Navigate the links to the ROTC page and contact the director immediately. You don't have to be a current student at the school for them to help you.

not necessarily. Having a degree does not autmatically make you an Officer, you have to apply and be accepted. That being said, with a 4 year Nursing degree, you stand an EXTREMELY good chance of being picked up in any Branch's Medical Corps as an Officer.

actually I would speak, if you have one, your ROTC department. They offer nursing scholarhsips and you gert commisioned after you graduate. I personally am in the Army now and thats what I'm applying for this year. But if you don't want to go that route you can just join and they may give you a sign on bonus, which kinda makes up for the scholarship.

I am 99.9% sure, that you will. I say that because I am not sure if it has changed in the 10 years since I was in ROTC.
Like the guy above me stated - you should check with the ROTC Dept at your college, if you have one, for scholarships and other information.

Not necessarily. I knew guys with degrees and some with masters degrees where E-3s in the Navy.
