The first book to address nurses' collective reintegration
experiences following deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan Based on
candid interviews with 35 nurses who were deployed for the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan, this is the first book to reveal the stresses
and moral dilemmas they experienced as they transitioned back into
everyday life. The nurses share their difficulties with family
separation, clinical reassignments, PTSD, the perceived stigma of
seeking mental health counseling, and compassion fatigue. They
describe how doing nursing in a war zone changed them personally,
expanded their nursing skills, and how reintegration was more
difficult than anticipated. In addition to serving as a personal
account of the experiences - both individual and collective - of
these military nurses, the book will serve researchers as a
compelling example of qualitative, phenomenological, and
descriptive research. Interviewees describe in vivid detail their
homecoming, family adjustments, renegotiating of spousal and
parenting roles, domestic and workplace challenges, and many other
dilemmas posed by the reintegration process. They provide insights
and thoughtful recommendations for changes to current military
debriefing that are likely to improve the experiences of future
wartime nurses. Encompassing all three branches of the military,
the book also examines the differences between active duty services
and reserve unit services, issues of substance abuse, the VA
administration, the burden of multiple deployments, and other
common threads for nurses who served in the Mideast battlegrounds.
