Even before COVID, need for nurses was certain
We know — judging by the racket of spoons beating on pots and pans in countless social media videos — that nurses and other health care workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic have seen renewed appreciation for the work they do, even as they face risks to their own health and safety.
And, with National Nurses Day coming May 6, that appreciation is even more timely. So, yes, whether they work in hospitals, clinics, care centers, doctor’s offices, public health agencies or other settings, thank you, nurses.
There’s also new attention for the career possibilities in health care fields, yet, also questions on how to complete and advance the education and training necessary, especially at a time when the pandemic has forced at least temporary changes for higher education, just as it has for public schools, our work and almost all aspects of our daily lives.
While most colleges and universities have adapted quickly to offer distance learning — such as lectures and class discussions through online teleconferencing — other higher education programs have been using that model long before most of us had heard the term “novel coronavirus.”
