  • Title: Skill set requirements for nurses deployed with an expeditionary medical unit based on lessons learned.
    Author: Whitcomb JJ, Newell KJ.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2008 Mar; 20(1):13-22, v. PubMed ID: 18206580.
    Abstract:
    Based in Kuwait 3 years apart, the authors recount how nurses and corps staff, along with their physician counterparts, came together to form well-run medical facilities under adverse circumstances. Their respective hospitals became competent organizations because of specific formulas for success, along with preparation, identification of required skill sets, and making improvements based on experience. This article describes the training of medical, nursing, and corps staff, the facilities and resources required for managing casualties, and some of the more commonly encountered combat injuries and conditions.
