Caring for Montana Veterans

Montana nurses are likely to care for veterans during their career. Using simulation and educational components that focus on military culture we are ensuring students are well prepared to provide excellent care to Montana veterans. Research is also being conducted in several Montana communities to assess veterans’ needs.
