History of the Navy Nurse Corps
Congress established the Navy Nurse Corps on 13 May 1908, marking a significant step in meeting the Navy's need for a permanent female nursing staff and aligning it with the Army and civilian medical communities. The first group of nurses, known as "the Sacred Twenty," were selected in November 1908 by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, setting high standards for future candidates. To join, nurses needed to be graduates of a two-year general hospital training program with clinical experience and pass a comprehensive examination assessing their professional, moral, mental, and physical fitness. After selection, they underwent three months of orientation and training in naval medicine at the Naval Medical School Hospital in Washington, DC, before being assigned to various naval hospitals. Today, the Navy Nurse Corps comprises over 4,000 active duty and Reserve nurses, both male and female, serving globally in over 20 specialties, supporting combat operations, disaster relief, and humanitarian missions, and providing healthcare to Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families.
