Military nurse gets Master's

Harmony Acker
The first two months of a military deployment are always the hardest, said Harmony Acker, a 12-year Navy veteran and recent graduate of the College of Nursing. She spent a collective three years as a fleet hospital nurse during the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and "Operation Enduring Freedom" missions in Kuwait.
Being gone is even more heart-wrenching when you have a 15-month-old son, as Acker did. Fortunately, she could count on family to care for him while she was away. Now that she also has a 3-year-old daughter and 15-year-old stepson, Acker is grateful for her life as a civilian nurse.
She's also grateful for her MS in the family psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program.
