Today, on Veteran’s Day, AJN would like to honor all of those who have served in the U.S. military, including the 19 million who served during at least one war. This of course includes all those nurses who have served in the armed forces.

Veterans’ health care.

Nurses in every care setting, from hospital to primary care clinic, may encounter veterans, and it’s important to be aware of particular health concerns that may affect them. Please visit our collection of articles on the military and veterans’ health care, which will be free for the next week.

Topics in the collection include, among others:

  • caring for families with deployment stress
  • screening for posttraumatic stress disorder
  • enhancing veteran-centered care
  • traumatic brain injury.

While some of the articles are older, they are still pertinent today. We honor and thank all those who have served.
