When President Bush began the war against terrorism, it affected the lives of millions of people in the world. This article presents how the war on terrorism and the activation of troops affected nursing students. These students were from diverse parts of our country and, with this activation, experienced a very different clinical setting than was planned within nursing curricula. This article describes this unique situation from the perspective of the students who were activated, and how one student was able to complete both her theory and clinical experience while on active duty in Iraq.
