| Abstract |
"This book is an essential and important read for nurses, regardless of employment in health care organizations or in academia. While this book is particularly applicable to nurse educators, it is useful to nurses in all settings. This book skillfully details what nurses and nursing educators need to know in helping veterans navigate the experience of returning to school after military service. As we know the curriculum can be challenging and most of their fellow students, faculty, and administrators will not have shared in the military experience. Some former military students may be emotionally, behaviorally and psychologically struggling to cope with the demands of transition to civilian life and the academic environment"-- Provided by publisher. |
