Armed forces cadet nurses with less than one ‘so-called badge’ are dispatched to the scene of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

The Armed Forces Academy of Nursing announced on the 18th that it will support 77 3rd grade nurses and 4 nurses to the Life Therapy Center. Among them, 56 cadets and three nurses were assigned to three vital treatment centers in Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheongnam-do from this day to begin their duties immediately. The rest of the personnel will be transferred in the future to the vital treatment center designated by the Central Accident Control Center.

Cadets will perform tasks such as △ vital signs measurement △ non-face symptom monitoring support dosing support △ PCR testing assistance after receiving guidance and supervision from doctors and nurses who are medical professionals in the quarantine field. The duration of the mission was tentatively decided at one month, and there is a possibility that it will change depending on the situation of Corona 19 in the future.

Previously, the army placed all new nursing officers in Daegu medical field before the nursing school graduation date in March, but it is the first time that even the cadets who are still educating have been mobilized. This is in accordance with article 19 of the Rule of Application of the Medical Law, which allowed students of medicine, dentistry, oriental medicine and nursing careers to perform their functions under the guidance and supervision of medical personnel in a situation of national disaster.

The cadets completed basic nursing practice at the university hospital level, as well as nursing practice in the intensive care unit, emergency room and ward of the Capital Hospital of the Armed Forces this year. They also received training in disaster emergency nursing before the COVID-19 site was introduced.

Cadet Choi Yoo-ji, the 62nd cadet of the nursery school, said, “When I saw the 60th graders rushing to Daegu right after the graduation and appointment ceremony, I also vowed to become an excellent officer of nursing dedicated to the nation and the people “. Based on the accumulated nursing experience, I will complete the mission with a sense of mission. “
