What else would you like the public to know about your role or the role of nurse scientists in the fight against COVID-19?
Nurses are the front line for patients infected with COVID-19. Nurse scientists study everything from treatments to the logistic needs of our colleagues with real solutions to shortages (personnel, supplies, settings, etc). Nurse scientists provide research on staffing models.
