Serving Those Who Serve Their Country: Preparing Military Veterans for Nursing Degrees
Background:
Challenges remain for integrating Veterans into civilian occupations postservice. This article describes an innovative project affording military service personnel serving in health occupational specialties the opportunity for completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
Method:
The Vets2BSN project, launched in July 2014, has achieved several years of enrollment and graduation success using standardized measures and assessment of student modifiers to establish project success.
Results:
Nearly 80 eligible students holding current or former rank as corpsmen or medics have enrolled in the program with 59 conferrals and an NCLEX pass rate of 98% (48 of 49). Prospective assessment of progress allows real-time intervention and remediation to achieve successful graduation rates.
Conclusion:
Collaboration of university administration and faculty has provided a foundation for reintegration of military health professionals possessing skills allowing for educational credit and acceleration of studies toward earning the BSN and joining the workforce as nursing professionals.
