Towards Readiness: Defining the Operationally Competent Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN)

Abstract

Military Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and other members of the military healthcare team are deploying at great numbers in support of combat operations. While military healthcare team members complete rigorous educational programs, their education may not adequately prepare them for the experiences they have while in the operational setting. This thesis will explore a broad range of underdeveloped concepts that challenge military APRNs, and other military healthcare providers, in operational environments and ultimately further the understanding of what it means to be "ready" for military healthcare team members.
