Indige-Nurse is a column published by Powwows.com and written by Jeanette Centeno, a Registered Nurse (RN) and Case Manager (CM) who holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Centeno (Taíno) draws on her experience in the medical field and her own indigenous background to educate Native communities on the health issues that matter most.
Native Americans are now vaccinated against COVID-19 at higher rates than any other racial or ethnic group in America, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
