Geoff ETS’d from the Army in 2016 and is currently an undergraduate nursing student. He is finishing up his last year and is preparing for the NCLEX. Geoff was a combat medic. His deployment to Afghanistan in 2014 solidified his path to stay within the medical field after the military. Starting nursing school wasn’t easy. Aside from getting back into the rhythm of going to school again, Geoff had to overcome the social and personal challenges once he became a civilian. A story that is common amongst Post 9/11 veterans.
