Abstract: The US healthcare system is facing an acute nursing shortage of unprecedented magnitude. This shortage is also affecting the Nursing Corps of the three military services. In this environment of a short supply of nurses, several initiatives are being explored to increase the number of nurses recruited annually by the military services. In order to achieve the level of recruitment required by the military to maintain desired end-strength, a more thorough assessment of the future military nursing workforce is required. The primary purpose of this study is to develop and deploy comprehensive surveys to assess the willingness of potential student populations to consider accepting an undergraduate nursing education in return for a commission as a nurse officer in the Armed Forces with a required service obligation.
