Fairfield Egan Year in Review
“As men and women for others, our Fairfield nursing faculty and students are uniquely poised and eager to participate in the Covid-19 vaccination clinic.
During these difficult times, we are grateful for the opportunity to do our part in bringing this pandemic toward its conclusion.”
Dean Meredith Kazer PhD, APRN-BC, FAAN
“This is a wonderful experience for nursing students to have. It helps us apply what we learn in the classroom to the clinical setting, and gives us the opportunity to fine tune our communication skills.”
Kathrine Vitiello ’21

DNP candidate, contact tracing volunteer
