摘要：
AIM The aim of this study was to understand the experiences of veterans enrolled in prelicensure nursing programs. BACKGROUND As the number of veterans enrolling in higher education continues to remain high, nurse faculty working with veteran students are faced with the challenge of meeting their unique educational needs and assisting them as they transition to professional nursing roles. METHOD A hermeneutic phenomenological study was conducted to understand the experiences of veterans enrolled in prelicensure nursing programs. RESULTS Findings from interviews with nine veteran nursing students revealed four themes: maneuvering through the mental mind shift, battling conflicting forces, avoiding landmines, and accepting support. CONCLUSION Based upon these findings, recommendations are presented for nursing programs and faculty to use to support students.
