Navy and military nurses are the same thing. You work for the navy, its the military, and ergo you are a military nurse. The service will pay for schooling, and then you work it off by serving as a nurse in that branch for an amount of time, I think 8-12 years. Talk to an official at an embassy or on a base in your country.

You need to be a US Citizen to join the US's armed forces. A green card would also suffice.

only US citizens may be officers..and all nurses are Officers. the military cannot and will not help you get citizenship. your only option is to try and get hired at a military hospital as a civilian www.usajobs.com

I'm not sure how, but if you do please learn everything you can learn and become an actual GOOD nurse. I was in the Navy for 4 years and I can say with 100% confidence that the medical service in the Navy was absolute horse shit. Recruiters tell you that the medical service is free, but what they don't tell you is that it isn't worth jack shit. You're better off paying for medical services so that you actually get something other than ibuprofin or motrin handed to you for all of your medical problems. Navy medical personnel are the most poorly trained medical people I have met in my life. If you do decide to become a Navy nurse and you're actually good and know what the hell you're doing, that will be a first.
