Capitalizing on the almost 2.2 million service members returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn (OIF) in Iraq, and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan, baccalaureate educators are encouraged to create realistic, applicable nursing transitional programs for the health and health-related oriented military veterans. Opportunities, hurdles, and solutions related to the veteran's unique socio-economic circumstances of education, finances, and advisement are provided so the potential veteran student is successful within the university's milieu. Transitional nursing educational interventions related to assessment, didactic, and clinical used by two baccalaureate nursing curriculums, including the eLineMilitary* (ELM) Program, provide approaches of how to propel the veteran's journey toward graduation in a professional nursing program. These interventions include modular didactic, competency based education, as well as the concentrated, collegial time within the Faculty/Clinical Coach triad for essential role modeling, care, and skills.
鉴于近220万军人从伊拉克的“伊拉克自由行动”和“新黎明行动”以及阿富汗的“持久自由行动”归来，鼓励本科教育工作者为以健康和健康相关领域为导向的退伍军人创建现实可行、适用的护理过渡项目。文中提供了与退伍军人在教育、财务和咨询方面独特的社会经济状况相关的机会、障碍及解决方案，以便潜在的退伍军人学生能在大学环境中取得成功。两个本科护理课程，包括电子军事护理*（ELM）项目所采用的与评估、理论教学和临床相关的过渡性护理教育干预措施，提供了如何推动退伍军人在专业护理项目中走向毕业的方法。这些干预措施包括模块化理论教学、基于能力的教育，以及在教师/临床指导三人小组内集中的、融洽的时间，用于进行重要的榜样示范、护理和技能培训。
