A Military Nurse is a healthcare professional who provides medical care to military personnel and their families. They are employed by the military and can be stationed anywhere in the world where there is a military presence. Military nurses are trained in general nursing care and can specialize in areas such as emergency medicine, critical care, pediatrics, and mental health.

Education and Training[edit | edit source]
To become a military nurse, one must first complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. After obtaining a BSN, they must pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) to become a registered nurse. Some military branches may also require additional training or education.

Working as a military nurse can be both challenging and rewarding. Military nurses often work in demanding and stressful environments, and may be required to deploy to combat zones.
