Combat Nursing awaits us Ladies and Gentlemen

That's just awesome!!

well said!!!

Keeping all things in perspective, combat nursing is going to scare the sh*t out of you at times. There is much pride that comes with what we do in the military, but there are going to be those "Holy Crap! What just exploded?" moments down the road. Your heart will also break about a 1,000 times when you are in Iraq or Afghanistan. Just as you will be there when our wounded open their eyes in pain and confusion, you will also be there when they close their eyes for the last time. Stay strong and lean on those who are standing beside you. Battlefield nursing is dirty, gritty, and very raw at times. But the rewards are many. Our men and women in harms way will trust you in a way they trust no one else. You are the closest thing to God on the battlefield and that is a very humbling situation to be in. So, congratulations on your pending commission and thank you for joining the fight. We always need an extra hand. Take care.
