-
- Self-Improvement
Nurses help us heal physically and emotionally during times of distress. They are currently on the frontlines helping so many as the nation battles COVID-19. Before the outbreak, I interviewed Rhonda Smith Wright, RN, MSN, MHSA a clinical nursing instructor at Johns Hopkins & University of Maryland’s School of Nursing, a @brynmawrschool for girls alumna and trustee, and former @gbali co-director to learn:
- how she teaches future nurses to understand the unique needs of diverse and underserved populations in Baltimore and the nation.
-what personal and professional development, wellness, and community building opportunities could help physicians, nurses, and administrators thrive
-what does the future of nursing look like and what skills will public health students need to succeed and contribute new and bold ideas and practices to create a more mindful, well, and inclusive national and global community
-what technical, life, and or social emotional learning skills will youth and adults need to thrive in the next 25 years!
