The Ohio State University College of Nursing joins forces with the First Lady and Jill Biden to support veterans and military families
College will join the ranks of hundreds of others in educating nursing students on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the coming years
Today, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden will announce a commitment from nurses across the country eager to serve our veterans and military families as well as they have served us. In a broad, coordinated effort, more than 150 state and national nursing organizations, including over 500 nursing schools such as The Ohio State College of Nursing, have committed to further educate our nation’s 3 million nurses so they are prepared to meet the unique health needs of service members, veterans and their families. Led by the American Nurses Association, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the National League for Nursing, in coordination with the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense, nursing organizations and schools have committed to educating current and future nurses on how to recognize and care for veterans impacted by post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression and other combat-related issues in ways appropriate to each nurse’s practice setting.
