#4 Caduceus with "N" x3. Possibly not authoritative, but kinda fun: Getting Dressed: Army Nurse Corps OD Service Uniform (1943-1945) [YT]

#5 The nurse insignia without back disc indicates officer rank and the glint at the end of the shoulder boards would indicate a lieutenant, but the insignia on the hat would be a eagle for the American uniform.

#6 @#3: Cutout "US" (no circle around it) was and is worn by the Officer Corps.

Single "bar" on shoulder loops = Lieutenant.
Gold = Second "Louie"
Silver = First.

"N" on the Caduceus = Nurse

First I've seen wearing the Caduceus on headgear where the Eagle typically is, but as Procopius2k cites, the Eagle insignia is worn by American personnel. A circle around a smaller Eagle = enlisted, a larger Eagle without the enclosing circle = officer.
Gold Eagle = Army
Silver = USAF
Gold and Silver = Navy Officer
Gold Anchor = USN Petty Officer
Black = USMC.

And then there's this:
