Nursing alumna shares tales from Iraq
Carly Sutton

As a BGSU nursing student, Carly Sutton never imagined, or even considered the possibility that her education would eventually take her into a war zone. The 2001 graduate left BGSU and started her nursing career at Ohio State University Medical Center’s neonatal intensive care unit. However, in 2003, she became an active duty Air Force officer. She was deployed to Balad Air Base in Balad, Iraq, which was Saddam Hussein’s training site for his air force and his country’s Olympic teams.
