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. 606 $aMilitary nursing$zUnited States 606 $aAfghan War, 2001-2021$vPersonal narratives, American 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$vPersonal narratives, American 615 0$aMilitary nursing 615 0$aAfghan War, 2001-2021 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011 676 $a610.69 700 $aScannell-Desch$b Elizabeth$01699452 701 $aDoherty$b Mary Ellen$01699453 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810729803321 996 $aNurses in war$94081712 997 $aUNINA
