    Hi Georgia,

    If you join as a nurse you are likely to gain more transferable skills should you leave the army later in your career and remain in a clinical job. This does not make it the 'best role' though, as different individuals will find each role better for their own reasons.

    If you would like to join as an officer you will need to join as a nurse.
