Military preceptees’ journey in the emergency department

Marta Fullstone Military nurse, Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Headley Court, Epsom, England

This article is an account of the experiences of two newly qualified military graduates who became preceptees in an emergency department (ED). It considers the emotions felt, the benefits of previous nursing experience, and the importance of reflection and support from colleagues. The article also suggests that ED experience can shape nurses’ ability to undertake operational and non-operational military nursing roles.
