MEXICO â The Center for Instruction, Technology and Innovationâs (CiTi) New Vision students learned how to better prepare for a career in nursing after they recently connected virtually with a Duke University School of Nursing staff member.
Anne Derouin, the schoolâs lead faculty for its PNP-primary care/MSN program, said the students first needed to be commended for wanting to potentially pursue a job where they try to help others, provide a service and enjoy problem-solving. She provided insight on various organizations nurses may work, utilization of telehealth, training requirements, the required national exam, continuing education, travel and average salaries.

The chief nurse at Tan Tock Seng Hospital made sure that staff could carry out their duties safely during the Covid-19 pandemic
When she was tasked with getting the hospital ready to receive Covid-19 patients, Dr Hoi was certain of two things. One, they were in for the long haul. Two, the facilities would need to cater to the staff’s needs, so they can work with a peace of mind.
Together with other nurse leaders, she made sure there’s adequate shower, resting and dining areas for staff. That was crucial to Dr Hoi, because many of the staff were working tremendously hard to cope with the surge in patients.
