I'm going to have to go with the nursing of wounded AEF soldiers. What she is most famous for is founding the American Red Cross, so the nursing answer would make sense.
3 :
(a)
4 :
I'm sure that it's A. I wrote a whole paper on Clara Barton. She was a pioneer in women nurses on the battlefield during the civil war. She also went on to create the red cross foundation.

what position in the millitary would a nurse get the most combat training

what position in the millitary would a nurse get the most combat training?
Im joining the military soon with a BSN and i know that under the Geneva convention nurses are allowed the right to protect their patients but im just simply curious about some of the options in military for this field. As ignorant as this may sound please refrain a little from making fun of the post,

"Position"? If you want combat, go into an armored cav squadron or an infantry battalion. Be careful what you wish for...
2 :
As a nurse you wont see much if any combat in your career. Considering that, it would be a waste of taxpayers money to train you beyond basic combat skills.
3 :
If a Nurse with a BSN joins the military, then he/she serves as a Nurse. There are options to serve in a variety of specialty areas, such as Operating Room, Emergency Medical Trauma, Critical Care, so on and so forth. We all get the same military training, including weapons qualification, defending our hospital, etc in the event we get attacked. We are not expected to engage in combat, if that is what you are asking. Not sure what you are really looking for in an answer, so please feel free to contact me or add additional details.
4 :
Even though you have a BSN no one will MAKE you go in as a Nurse. That is YOUR choice. So if you want to be in combat arms..join something besides Nursing. I have a buddy that hold a JD (law degree) and is licensed attorney and serves as an Infantry Officer because that is what he WANTS to do. Has no desire to do law in the military.

Army. Combat Medic code: 68W. W is for whiskey Has the highest rate for PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder)
6 :
ok. well there is the officer side and enlisted side. for enlisted a 68W is a health care specialist. which is often called a combat medic. because they can be attached to any type of line unit. and they are the first responder on the line. so you could easily be in a scout, IN, MT, EN, MI or any other type of unit. they move, you move. as an officer you are not outside the wire as much. you are in a clinic and hospital seeing patience. even as a BN PA, you don't go on convoys and see much action. my husband is a 68W. in his 20+ years he has seen lots of combat. he has put many people back together again. some lived and some died. but he was always their first chance of survival. usually he just stabilizes them and gets them MEDIVACed out. very rairly does he find out if they "made it" unless they are in his unit. he see it in the news paper or even once he saw the guy one Oprah holding a picture of the medic who saved his life, him

GIRLS Will she take me back? Read my story (bit long, sorry)

GIRLS Will she take me back? Read my story (bit long, sorry)?
k this is a bit long, only read it if you have time on your hands. Thanks :) We're both 17 and we went out for a few months. We're both fairly new to the whole dating thing. Anyway, I really like her, and she said she really liked me. Sometimes I would be a bit too needy, like I would text her and be surprised when she didnt text back (she's quite independent), but if we spent the day together doing something it would be the other way round. Just so you know, we're in England, not America, in our last two years of high school when we have these big exams that determine which universities we can go to. She is VERY into her work and feels under a lot of pressure since her parents are teachers and a lot of her relatives have gone to one of the top universities in the UK. Anyway, we had some trial exams about a month ago. She had a week of absolute hell, since she had lots of classwork to catch up on as well as revision for these trial exams (which, unlike me, she took very seriously). On the day of the last trial exam she dumped me, saying that she was behind on all her work and didn't want to fail. If any other girl told me this, I would think she was lying, but she isn't your everyday average teenage girl. Obviously at first I didn't believe her and reacted badly by walking away from her, so she texted me later saying again how sorry she was (I replied, not angrily, but agreeing it would be best to stay friends). I was talking to my matron afterwards (a sort of school nurse), who knew the girl and told me she was in fact struggling with her schoolwork (she knew this from feedback from other teachers). I tried to move on like she suggested, but it didn't seem to work. I dont know if I love this girl or not; she is not your generic high school hottie, she doesnt get much romantic attention from guys (she said she couldnt understand why I chose her "instead of some pretty blonde girl"), but in my eyes she is absolutely beautiful. I know she hurt me, but she is the sweetest, funniest girl I have ever known (it's not a trait most guys my age look for, but it is for me!). On my birthday (a week after she dumped me) I sent her a text saying I still had feelings for her. Her reply was friendly but she said "I am behind on all of my work, and I dont want to fail". When we went out, I would give her things. On a date I gave her a box of swiss chocolates, a chocolate lollipop one time, roses and a homemade card on valentines day, and a poem (yes, a poem... this is the only person in the world I would write this for). I gave her these things because we could only see each other once every few weeks, so I tried to make each occasion special (I couldn't hang around her or her friends obviously). A few weeks later, I wrote another poem for her (you might have seen me put it on here... I got good feedback so I'm guessing it was a good one). Her reply was a text saying "thankyou =) hope things are good with you". Obviously I was upset, so I replied saying "should I have written that for somebody else?" A few days later term ended and we're now on holiday, revising for the big exams which come up in a few weeks. Eventually we texted a bit more, agreeing to meet up sometime (just as friends). One night though I was just lying in bed, and I dont know what happened... I had had some family problems that day with arguments between my parents, who are split but who were trying to take us on holiday. I made a big mistake, overwhelmed by emotion, and sent her a text telling her I loved her (I know, big mistake... even though at this point, I realised it was true). She replied by saying she didn't have time for this (busy revising like everyone else), and although part of her felt the same she would rather focus on her school work. I texted her again later asking she was ok, I literally got a text just saying "I'm fine". I havent heard from her since, despite texting her to ask what was wrong and saying I was sorry. I know she doesn't love me back and she has much more important stuff to do at the moment, but all I want is to be able to hold her in my arms again and kiss her forehead and keep her safe. I've been told I'm handsome, I do lots of sport. I'm kind and compassionate (doesn't really work in my favour, since guys my age aren't meant to be). But I do know that once the summer comes, these exams will be out of the way, and she will feel much less stressed. I've decided to cut off contact with her completely until the exams are over and summer starts, and then ask if she wants to meet up sometime. If she says yes, I'll see how it goes, and hopefully ask her out again, knowing that we can at least have a summer relationship :) If everything goes to plan, do you think she will say yes? Kitteh smasher... well dont answer, nobodys forcing you to read it :P

she might say yes....it sounds like a good plan but dont get ur hopes up, she might not take u back :( u have no idea what she will say, i hope she says yes though! u seem to really love her and just want to be with her which i think is great! maybe when there is less stress for her she will say yes, maybe u should even tell her what u said on this.... :) i wish the best of luck!

Hmm, I once had a crush one a boy for 3 years finally he started liking me and through that time I never realized that he did...Why would someone like him ever like me? Then time went by and know from us being so close to dating...there's nothing left there's a huge rift between us. =/ Just try to text her once a month. Why not ask if you can help her with her work or studying? Good Luck =)
4 :
Well heres the thing, you cant change the way a girl thinks about you. Sometimes looks arent enough to save you :( (trust me) if it really was the stress and she feels the same way you feel about her, then maybe this plan would work. But i bet you it wouldnt work if you were always pushy and hovering her, she might not be able to know how she feels about you. Also she cant know that this was all a plan. Try to stay JUST friends for a while, and not those overprotective friends.

Sounds like she has high expectations for herself as a professional, seeing as she is studying a lot and seems like that's all she has time to do. If she gets in to this prestigious university in the UK and you don't then she probably will dump you. But you can probably get back with her after the exams seeing as that was the reason you and her broke it off based upon your story here. But I dunno, I'm just a 3rd party that has no idea of anything expect for what you have written here. I'm also a guy, sorry if you were looking for girls only

im from america and my ex was indipendent a lot like i would txt him and then i would get worried about him or i thought he did not like me but you peoples are perfect opposits like in a good way... =)
3 :
Give her some time since she's under alot of stress due to the exams. But don't cut off contact with her she mite think your over her. Like you said hold off until the exams are over
4 :
It really depends on if she still likes you in summertime. Try not to send her texts and stuff, you don't want her to be annoyed by you. After the exams(not STRAIGHT after, cause she'll still be a bit stressed) she might say yes...
