Nurses are "the heroes of this outbreak," Dr. Anthony Fauci, M.D., NIAID Director, said in a recent interview with Nurse.org.
He went on to answer a variety of nurse-submitted questions, and explained how each of the new vaccines works. "Everybody in the world needs to recognize the importance of what nurses do," Dr. Fauci said.
Peg Mastal, PhD, MSN, RN, Past President of AAACN, was presented with the Founders Award for Epsilon Zeta, the Sigma chapter at George Mason University. Sigma, an international honor society of nursing that strives to support and empower nurse leaders, honored Mastal for her leadership in the field of outpatient nursing.
