Welcome to the Spring/Summer 2021 issue of Rutgers Nursing magazine! These pages reflect the challenges and triumphs of our community since the inaugural (and digital-only) issue of Rutgers Nursing magazine published last spring—at the onset of a global pandemic that upended life as we all knew it.
The global COVID crisis called health care professionals to the front lines in unprecedented ways—from new graduates who were catapulted to the front lines of critical care, to nurse scientists making breakthroughs in the way we understand how nurses experience everything from racism to vaccination. Thank you for reading and joining us on the journey.
We invite your feedback. Email us at communicate@sn.rutgers.edu.
