☤♡ Future Army Nurses in action! ☤♡

This summer, CDT Megan Lessard (center; first photo) from the University of New Hampshire received the opportunity of a lifetime when she participated in the Nurse Summer Training Program ( ) at Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) at Fort Bragg, NC. While there, she had the opportunity to spend time honing her nursing skills in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), postpartum, labor and delivery, OR, and the Emergency Department (ED). It was a great confidence booster for her as she was able to complete a lot of skills that UNH doesn't allow students to do.

This feels better equipped to be a nurse in the Army after being immersed in this environment. Want to learn about opportunities like this to better develop your nursing career? Send us a DM! ✉️

☤♡ Future Army Nurses in action! ☤♡

On August 6, CDT Nathaniel Nagel from Norwich University completed the Army Nurse Summer Training Program at Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital (BJACH) in Fort Polk, LA. Throughout the month-long program, CDT Nagel and his fellow nursing cadets rotated through clinical departments across the hospital, working alongside nurses, physicians and healthcare professionals while gaining hands-on experience in emergency medicine, labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (LDRP) care, pharmacy, behavioral health and other specialty areas.

Lt. Col. Carmen Salcedo, assistant deputy commander for nursing at BJACH, said the program prepares cadets for much more than clinical practice.

“In the civilian sector, for most nurses, their primary—and sometimes only—focus is clinical mastery,” Salcedo said during the graduation ceremony. “In the Army, clinical excellence is your baseline. When you commission, you are leaders.”
