Abstract

Injuries related to the events of September 11, 2001, and continuing military actions associated with Operation Enduring Freedom underscore the accurate focus of the Joint Trauma Training Center and the Warskills Simulation Laboratory. These two programs ensure that nurses are prepared to respond to diverse medical situations worldwide. Outcome measures from both initiatives attest to the effectiveness of an integrated program that facilitates critical thinking skills and clinical judgment to increase the nurses' ability to provide trauma care to severely injured military personnel.
