Abstrakt: Background: The potential positive impact military nurse officers (MNOs) make on the nursing profession, as well as lessons learned, often is unknown beyond inner military circles.
Purpose: Describe the experiences of MNOs in the advancement of the profession of nursing and nursing education, and how military service influenced nurse leaders' impact on civilian practice.
Method: A descriptive-interpretive qualitative study using semistructured interviews of MNOs (N = 21).
Findings: Analysis revealed three themes: Deliberately developing personal leadership capacity, Building bench strength through team investment, and Balancing people and systems to achieve the mission.
Discussion: Leader development in the military afforded participants the necessary skills to advance the profession of nursing and nursing education in multiple ways that span individual, group/team, and organizational impact. Transferability and application of these skills to civilian settings may enhance leader development in nurses without military service.
