    Veterans with PTSD speak: “Anyone wanting to understand what it is to have a ‘flashback’ will learn more from these firsthand accounts than from any textbook.” ―The British Journal of Psychiatry   The chances of service members developing PTSD after military-related traumas is, according to a U.S. study, at least thirty percent. The effects can be devastating, ranging from distressing flashbacks to nightmares, sleep disorders, physical symptoms, irritability, aggressions, and memory and concentration problems. These symptoms often cause severe impairment in all areas of life and may lead to despair and hopelessness. PTSD is neither a localized nor a temporary problem.    Here, Leah Wizelman relates the true stories of service members from different service branches and ranks from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Germany, who were participants in various wars (Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada) and peace missions (Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia, Cambodia, Somalia, Cyprus, Haiti). They talk openly about their lives after trauma and share their fates with the reader. Spouses of affected military members also tell their stories. They talk about the challenges loved ones face when living with a partner with PTSD, how it affects their children, and how they manage to cope.    As these stories show all too vividly, military-related PTSD has not been dealt with effectively or with enough empathy or sympathy. Those affected by PTSD will realize that they are not alone in their suffering—and others will gain insight into the realities of this challenging disorder.   “I highly recommend this volume to all who seek to understand combat-related PTSD.” —Kathryn M. Magruder, MPH., PhD, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Military Science Division, Medical University of South Carolina

    Nursing is more than just a profession; it is a calling that blends compassion, science, and clinical expertise to promote health and well-being. As one of the most trusted professions globally, nursing plays a critical role in the healthcare system, directly impacting patients' lives and outcomes. This chapter provides an overview of nursing careers, introducing the diverse roles within the field and the various paths one can take to become a nurse.  
Nurses are at the heart of patient care, often serving as the bridge between patients and other healthcare professionals. They are involved in a wide range of activities, from administering medications and performing clinical procedures to providing emotional support and educating patients about their health conditions. Nurses work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, community centers, schools, and even patients' homes, adapting their skills to meet the specific needs of each environment. 
Nursing has evolved significantly over the years, transforming from a vocation focused on basic patient care to a profession that requires advanced education, specialized training, and critical thinking skills. The modern nurse is not only a caregiver but also a leader, researcher, advocate, and educator. This evolution has opened up new career opportunities within the field, allowing nurses to specialize in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, critical care, mental health, and public health, among others.
