NORFOLK, Va. â Old Dominion Universityâs nursing students are stepping up to save lives.
Since last month, 160 nursing students and faculty members have been vaccinating thousands of people in Hampton Roads. They answered a call for help from Sentara Healthcare to administer the COVID-19 vaccines. Students and faculty volunteered and took the online training.
âI had never been called a hero directly before, and I remember when we walked in thatâs what the patients in line were saying,â said ODU nursing student Hannah Wheeler. âTo have a patient directly say that to you was so motivating and was kind of the wind beneath my sails to keep going.â
After Ciara Sievekeâs family opted for distance learning this semester due to COVID-19, the Rapid City Central junior spent most of her days at home, away from fellow students.
It wasnât until gymnastics season got underway, following a delayed start, that she was allowed to reconvene with some of her classmates during practices at Rapid City High School as extra safety protocols were established. Â
With extended time off and less preparation than in years past, Sieveke has added difficulties to her routines as she and her fellow members of the Central and Rapid City Stevens gymnastics teams prepare for a different format Saturday at their season opening meet.Â
