The Army Nurse
Long hours, harsh conditions and horrific wounds. Nurse Suzanne Constantini’s year of caring for wounded soldiers in an ICU in Vietnam left her with memories she had a hard time shaking. But her military service also led her to her true love.
When I came back, trying to readjust, I told them I didn't want to work ICU.
Suzanne's story was captured by AMPERS in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center’s Veterans' Voices program and was shared with permission.
