This book captures the palpable essence of what it is like to live and work in Iraq and Afghanistan as a military nurse during the current wars. Based on three research studies, this book reads like a novel. The reader gets up close to these 37 nurses as they care for casualties in combat support hospitals, on medevac aircraft, and on forward surgical teams. You can feel the tension as mortars fall in hospital compounds. You can hear the sound of helicopters ferrying patients. You can feel the adrenaline rush as nurses respond.Military nursingUnited StatesAfghan War, 2001-2021Personal narratives, AmericanIraq War, 2003-2011Personal narratives, AmericanMilitary nursingAfghan War, 2001-2021Iraq War, 2003-2011610.69Scannell-Desch Elizabeth1699452Doherty Mary Ellen1699453MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810729803321Nurses in war4081712UNINA
