Everyone deserves that. It\u2019s why I like working at the VA.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Paul Kohler \u201920MSN<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He\u2019s used to pressure. While he speaks over the phone from Charleston Air Force Base, he has only a few hours to polish up some papers for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/nursing-msn\/\">Masters of Science in Nursing<\/a> degree and pack his duffel bag. By evening he\u2019ll be flying over the Atlantic Ocean to a country he cannot mention.<\/p>\n<p>As a flight nurse with the Air Force Reserves, Captain Kohler doesn\u2019t know how long he\u2019ll be gone or where he might be told to go next. Only that he\u2019ll be putting his experience and his graduate-level education to work in a venue few of us can imagine.<\/p>\n<p>The motto of Kohler\u2019s 934<sup>th<\/sup> Air Medical Evacuation Squadron spells out their mission at this very moment: \u201cDeny death\u2019s victory.\u201d In other words, save the lives of COVID-19 patients on the other side of the world. While we see stories of healthcare heroes working around the clock in hospitals and convention centers, Kohler\u2019s team of critical care and infectious disease specialists will carry out their work 30,000 feet in the air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis type of mobilization for COVID-19 is unlike any that the Air Force has ever done,\u201d says Kohler, 38. \u201cWe\u2019re writing history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time an emergency call from the Air Force has superseded Kohler\u2019s graduation plans. Before he could complete his capstone last fall, he was deployed to the Middle East. Then, in early April, while working his full-time job at the North Florida\/South Georgia Veterans Health System, he received a call he knew was coming. Kohler had 48 hours to spend time with his wife, two young daughters, and their horses in Gainesville, and speed up his remaining master\u2019s requirements online before leaving for pandemic training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m close enough to the finish line for my degree this time,\u201d he says. \u201cMy instructors understand the situation. They\u2019ve been flexible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The usual situations for a reservist have been coming up since before Kohler enrolled in 麻豆原创\u2019s MSN program in 2017. He\u2019s required to spend anywhere from three to seven days every month at a base in Minneapolis, with longer assignments in places like Qatar, Afghanistan, and locations most of us barely know how to pronounce. Kohler admits it\u2019s difficult to leave his family, but he also knows someone has to deny death\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI go where the emergencies are,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Some sort of frontline has always drawn Kohler close. He entered the Army out of high school and, up until the age of 25, had his sights set on one goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to be a firefighter,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Everything changed in 2007 when his younger brother, Michael, was seriously injured during a military operation in Iraq. Michael couldn\u2019t remember much about the ensuing hours and days, but he did know that certain medical personnel kept him as comfortable as possible while he\u2019d been transported out of harm\u2019s way and back home to the U.S. Those people? They were flight nurses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019m doing now is exactly what the flight nurses did for my brother,\u201d says Kohler. \u201cHis experience had a big influence on my decision to go this route.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u2019s long recovery in VA hospitals also left a mark on Kohler. \u201cI want to make sure everyone has the same level of care that I\u2019d want for my brother or for myself. Everyone deserves that. It\u2019s why I like working at the VA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kohler has known he needs to be in a leadership role to ensure people who are hurting receive the best care possible, and to be in a leadership role he\u2019d need an advanced degree from a well-respected nursing school. He found his first step up the ladder at 麻豆原创.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I need to go to school in person, it\u2019s only 90 minutes from our house,\u201d he says. \u201cUnless I\u2019m doing something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As you read this, Capt. Paul Kohler is saving lives and helping to rewrite history somewhere far away. \u201cThis has to be my singular focus,\u201d he says. When he returns home at an unknown time, he\u2019ll come back to his wife, daughters, horse trails, and a MSN diploma with his name on it. His writing of history will have just begun.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:0px\">https:\/\/frpiluleenligne.com<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Duty has already called for Capt.
