Nursing Care of Military and Veteran Populations

Catalog description

This course is designed to identify the unique healthcare needs of military and veteran populations in the United States in order to prepare students and practicing nurses to develop competence in designing nursing interventions within civilian and government agencies in which military members and veterans seek healthcare. In accordance with the ANA's pledge (2012) to raise awareness of the unique conditions and needs of military veterans and their families, this course supports the Joining Forces initiative to further nursing training to include specialized topics such as traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma rehabilitation, and understanding the military and veteran's healthcare delivery system.
