Veterans have unique health care needs that must be addressed. Seventy-five percent of veterans are treated outside Veteran Health Administration facilities, so all health care providers should be educated on how to better serve veterans and their families. Nurses are in a prime position to lead the way in these efforts, beginning in prelicensure nursing education. In this article, the authors describe a model and exemplars for integrating veteran-centered care into an existing curriculum, from beginning through advanced levels.
退伍军人有独特的医疗保健需求，必须加以解决。75%的退伍军人在退伍军人健康管理局设施之外接受治疗，因此所有医疗保健提供者都应该接受如何更好地为退伍军人及其家属服务的培训。护士处于引领这些工作的有利位置，从护理预执照教育阶段就开始。在本文中，作者描述了一个将以退伍军人为中心的护理融入现有课程的模式和范例，涵盖从入门到高级水平的各个阶段。
