Nursing Opportunities
Transitioning from Corpsman/Medic to Civilian Nurse
By Debra Wood, RN, contributor
Army medics and Navy corpsmen often face obstacles when returning home from military service, wanting to put the lifesaving skills they learned and practiced in the service to use in civilian life. Several programs have developed, some with the help of government, to let these professionals enter the field of nursing.
“Everything that makes an amazing employee is what they bring to the table,” said Jackie Bateman, RN, MSN, CHPN, associate nursing professor at Montgomery College in Takoma Park, Md.

Medic-to-nurse programs
The Military Medic/Corpsman-to-ADN Transition Program at Montgomery College began in 2014. The college received a grant from the Maryland Higher Education Commission to establish the program. Students can use their GI Bill or VA benefits for the 12-month program.
Leaders at the Montgomery College recognize the challenges these troops face and have developed a 12-week course to teach concepts specific to nursing, taken prior to entering the regular ADN program. Applicants must meet certain qualifications and complete prerequisite classes, and some are able to take those courses while still in the military.
“The main difficulty I hear from the students is that taking the courses while active duty can be difficult,” Bateman said. “We are not fully online.”
Many of the graduates gravitate to critical care roles, where they can work as a team with physicians and other professionals, Bateman said.
