Strengthen and Protect Nurses

  • Summary

  • Nurses have experienced some of the most intense moments in nursing history during the COVID-19 pandemic. They worked to protect the public, often at the risk of their own physical and mental health. Yet, many nurses expressed that they did not feel equipped or trained to respond to this pandemic.


    Nurses are on the frontline of public health emergencies, including pandemics, environmental disasters, and mass casualty events. The nursing workforce must be prepared to respond to these events, and be protected as they respond. In this episode, frontline nurses share about their experiences responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and other public health emergencies, and explore how nurses should be strengthened, prepared, and protected for the next emergency.


    In this episode, we hear from:


    Angela Gray, public health nurse, Nursing Director for Berkeley County and Morgan County Health Departments


    Dr. Michael McGinnis, Leonard D. Schaeffer Executive Officer of the National Academy of Medicine


    Dr. Roberta Lavin, nurse practitioner, Professor and PhD Program Director at The University of New Mexico


    Derek DaSilva, intensive care unit nurse


    Marcus Henderson, psychiatric mental health nurse
