"Enlistment" records for Army nurse??

My GGGrandmother Elizabeth Wood by all accounts served as an Army nurse at Camp Reynolds Pa. during the last year of the war. Her obit reads " Dec 1863 enlisted as Army nurse" An announcement of her 60th wedding anniv. in the Gresham Oregon Outlook 3 June 1921 reads "Mrs Wood also left her small son with relatives during the last year of the war and went into service as an Army nurse and is probably the only regularly enlisted army nurse in the state who served in the civil war"
Even he grave marker reads "Elizabeth Wood 1842-1931 Civil War Nurse" Why can't I find any record of her "service" If it exists where should I be looking? Any help is greatly appreciated.
