Fairfield Egan Year in Review

“As men and women for others, our Fairfield nursing faculty and students are uniquely poised and eager to participate in the Covid-19 vaccination clinic.

During these difficult times, we are grateful for the opportunity to do our part in bringing this pandemic toward its conclusion.”

Dean Meredith Kazer PhD, APRN-BC, FAAN

“This is a wonderful experience for nursing students to have. It helps us apply what we learn in the classroom to the clinical setting, and gives us the opportunity to fine tune our communication skills.”

testing clinic volunteer “When something like this pandemic happens in the world, we all ask ‘how can I help?’ How could

I not help? Coming together as a community, we collectively make a contribution and a difference.”

Following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, professionals around the nation were forced to adapt to a new reality just as quickly and intensely as the virus was spreading. From the swift transition to hybrid learning, to Covid-19 testing, to vaccination clinics, to treating patients in the hospital, Fairfield Egan alumni, faculty, and students were at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic.
