Abstract: The 2008 and 2009 National Defense Authorization Acts included provisions for strengthening the supply of military nurses. The 2008 NDAA authorized the establishment of a military nursing school and the conferees further directed DoD to undertake a study "to determine whether a program to provide incentives to retired military nurse corps officers to serve as faculty at civilian nursing schools, sometimes referred to as 'Retired Troops to Nurse Teachers' could help to alleviate the current and projected nursing shortage in the military services." The 2009 NDAA authorized a pilot of a Retired Troops to Nurse Teachers (TNT) program. This study will provide DoD specific information requested in the 2008 NDAA conference report and assess the potential value of a TNT program in increasing the supply of nurses to the medical departments, given other initiatives under way. The study will also inform decision about a TNT pilot (2009 NDAA).
