The career I plan on doing is a military nurse. This career interests me because it combines the two things I want to be when I grow up so I do not have to sacrifice one career for the other. I believe this career is a good suit for me, because I enjoy helping people and I believe I have the patients and that I am cool headed enough to try and deal with the stress. I want to make something of myself and become a person people look up to. I want to be known as a hero and to me those are two of the most heroic jobs you can have. The typical day for a military nurse will vary depending on if you are in a war zone or a V.A hospital. Working in war zone you are more likely to encounter life threatening injures than you would in a VA hospital or clinic (“Becoming”). In a war zone you will be setting up for tirage and managing it, also monitor the soldiers wounds (“Becoming”). You will not always be in a war zone, and when working at VA hospital you job will be more like a regular nurse, you will prepare the soldier sor surgeries and help provide post and preoperative care (“How”). Not only will you be providing the active duty soldier was medical care you will provide his or her family and non active duty veterans (“Becoming”). The most important part of your job though, is to provide them with care and make them feel as…
always been surrounded by people working or studying in the health care field. My father, my aunt, my grandmother and even two of my cousins are all nurses and they are all surprised I might be part of them really promptly, but wearing an imposing khaki uniform rather than a pastel-coloured one. I sincerely believe that I have chosen the best career for my future because being a Nursing Officer is not really dangerous, it gives the chance to live exciting and challenging adventures and it…
1 All of the generals, colonels and highly ranked military officials were men, and most had some description of prejudice against women working in the war. They expressed this clearly in the uncouth way they treated them and the fact that they seemed to barely trust or acknowledge them. This artefact is Sister Alice Ross King’s diary excerpt This artefact should be included in the exhibition as it shows the one of the hardships that Australian army nurses had to go through during WW1.

Women make up about 14 percent of our military today, that’s about 200,000 ladies risking their lives for our country. (History) They have many jobs, such as nurses, gunners, and engineers. People have finally recognized the important roles women have in the military by allowing them to play a part in ground combat. The idea of women fighting alongside men is heavily debated.

of women as nurses contributed greatly to the Civil War, because it helped the military maintain it’s strength. They formed organizations like the United States Sanitary Commission and were able to collect a total of 25,000,000 dollars from the public for war efforts(Georgia 221). The money collected was spent on medical and sanitary supplies for soldiers on the battlefield(Georgia 221).

The United States entered World War II on December 7, 1941 after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

When a person enters the military, what's the first thing that comes to mind?The unique uniform. Growing up when I would see a man in a uniform, I would be able to recognize it to a certain military branch all the way from the Marines to the Navy. To me seeing those men and women in the uniform, it instantly gave them a position of power. To me, I looked at them as if they were already better than me just from the uniform. When I think of whom has the most credibility my mind instantly goes to…

Unlike World War 1 and World War 2 that consisted only nurses, military women held more roles, such as physicians, air traffic controllers, officers, and new corps such as the Army Medical Specialist Corps. Due to the American presence in South Vietnam in the 1960s, it led to a greater demand for women in the Army Nurse Corps. Women in the armed forces faced many debates when it involved them being in combat zones despite…
contributed greatly as pilots, nurses, and in the home front. During 1942 the United States had built many planes in the war factories each month for the war, in addition, these military planes happened to be needed to be delivered to air bases, but the U.S. was short in supply of pilots, however, in 1943, there had been a call out to women to do the flying, in place of the men. There were twenty five thousand women who’d applied, but only 1,100 got chosen as Women Airforce Service Pilots - the…
