Military nurses perform a range of duties similar to civilian nurses, but with additional responsibilities due to the unique requirements of military service. Their roles include:
- Emergency Care: Providing immediate care in combat zones. - Critical Care: Working in intensive care units (ICUs) and managing life-threatening conditions. - Surgical Assistance: Assisting in surgeries, often in makeshift operating rooms. - Primary Care: Offering routine medical care, immunizations, and health education. - Mental Health Support: Addressing psychological issues such as PTSD and other mental health challenges unique to military personnel.
