Military Lessons Learned From Vietnam: Achieving Professionalism in Nursing
The war in Vietnam is no longer America's lengthiest war, but it remains one of the costliest with more than 53,000 American lives lost and billions in national treasure spent. Indeed, the Vietnam War made it clear that it is possible to win all of the major military engagements but to still lose the war. Despite this overarching failure, a contemporary analysis of the Vietnam War can provide some valuable lessons learned. To gain some additional insights in this area, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature concerning the use of military nurses by the U.S. during the Vietnam War, and the military lessons that were learned from this experience that can assist in accomplishing a nursing mission more effectively. A summary of the research and important findings are presented in the conclusion.
