Hello,
Yes it is possible to apply for a transfer to the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps (QARANC) while you are serving, if you are successful you would then complete your nursing training with the Army.
Not everyone can apply to transfer, and not everyone who applies will be successful, but it is possible.
