All over the world people are sharing inspiring stories of heroism during this challenging time. Essential workers and many companies have risen to the occasion and become hometown heroes. Nurses are on the front line of this COVID-19 battlefield. Many have verbalized that they face long days with inadequate resources. They have put their family life on hold to take care of those in need. Going home and instead of hugging their spouse or child, self-isolate, sleep and return ready to save lives the next day. Skilled in smart resource utilization, infection prevention and self-care not only for themselves but their entire team. They have become a communication resource to patient family members, who for health and safety reasons, are not allowed to sit by their loved one’s side. Flexibility is key as information and patient flow changes daily as well as work assignments. Through it all nurses remain strong and do what they were educated to do.

Oakland University's School of Nursing thanks all nurses for their courageous hearts and unbreakable, selfless passion for patient care.

Dear Students:

We know this is a difficult and challenging time and you have had to deal with many unexpected changes.  For those of you who are working on the front lines, we thank you for your incredible service to those in need.  We want all of you to know that all of the faculty and staff in the School of Nursing are still working very hard remotely even though we are no longer physically on campus.  We are here to support you and provide you with the resources and communication that you need to continue with your coursework. We will be communicating program and course updates over the coming weeks as quickly as we can so that you stay informed.  Please reach out to your program director, course faculty, or your SON academic adviser with any questions or concerns. 

Sincerely,

SON Faculty, Staff, and Administration
