Abstract

The article describes the journey of a terror-stricken student growing into an adept healthcare provider; representing courageous personal and professional growth after a "Hello" in a nursing school immersion experience. The journey includes the student's emotional maturity and courage, recognizing the uniqueness of military culture, realizing the magnitude of the patient's losses, ascertaining patient concerns, personal recovery goals and long-term support network. Together recovery milestones are recognized and achieved. The article underscores the importance of nurse education in facilitating student's effective nurse-patient communication techniques considering diverse cultural elements, and consistently applying these theoretical concepts into practice. Assignments geared toward a holistic patient perspective can serve to develop student leadership progress toward becoming informed and engaged citizens, enlarging worldviews and a heightened awareness of relevant global issues, and spark passion related to national policy reform. Commitment to professional ownership of personal and professional growth throughout nursing school leads to positive transitions as a seasoned healthcare provider.
