Nurses working with veterans will assist with healthcare practices such as surgeries, mental health services, rehabilitation, and preventative care. Many veterans cope with their PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptsd.va.gov\/understand\/related\/substance_abuse_vet.asp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">substance abuse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so drug and alcohol treatments are also very common in VAs. Other specific treatments include Agent Orange or radiation exposure, hearing or blindness rehabilitation, and HIV\/AIDS treatments. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VA Travel Nurse Benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many reasons that VA nurses should consider a travel nursing career.
