Currently nurses go to Officer Indoctrine School in Newport Rhode Island. OIS is a lamer version of OSC. OIS is for chaplains, doctors, lawyers, nurses, medical admin officers, medical service officers, LDOs and Warrants. It's 5 weeks long. You do a lot of marching, getting up early, and physical training (pt). There are also A TON of powerpoints. You should talk to a nurse recruiter, you can get a big bonus right now for joining, and it's very easy to get in because they really need nurses. You might end up in Iraq pretty soon into your career though, so beware.

A Navy nurse is a commisioned officer. Either an academy graduate or has a BS from a college and then goes through OCS. OSC is kind of an officer bootcamp.

I can't help you with the other questions as I don't know. But only basic military instruction is provided at boot camp. For specialized training in a particular application, additional schooling is necessary at other bases where that specific training is offered.

N O!! They will go through Boot Camp before they become nurses and then take training to become nurses at AIT or go through College Courses to get additional training!!
