nursing degree through the army and then go straight onto a commissioning course at sandhurst?

I’m thinking of transferring to nursing through the army from a CMT, would I be able to complete the nursing degree through the army and then commission straight away?

    You can apply to commission at any time throughout your career, but it won't be immediate: you will have to pass Army Officer Selection Board, even if you're already serving.

    As mentioned you can commission at any point but would also usually need a recommendation to do so.

    You can go from a CMT to a student nurse to complete your degree as you would through the digital transfers application.

    Commissioning would only happen on successful completion of your degree and they usually want your preceptor ship completed before you can commission so you would need to complete your return of service before doing so. Exemptions can sometimes be given for this but are usually rare.
