Nurses are not immune to living in and working during times of pandemics. Assistant Professor of Nursing at Russell Sage College, Gertrude B. Hutchinson, DNS, RN, will discuss nursing’s role in previous flu pandemics such as the 1918 Spanish Influenza outbreak, the Asian Flu and the Hong Kong Flu Pandemics, and previous COVID outbreaks such as SARS, MERS, and of course COVID-19. Hutchinson will discuss public health inventions, health literacy, and nursing education and will illustrate the continuance of social norms related to nurses using images from the past century.
The lecture will take place virtually and can be viewed live on the HVCC Library Facebook page and at https://livestream.com/hvccstreaming/events/9235034.
Voices: A Library Lecture Series is offered each semester to broaden and enrich the scope of studies at the college by presenting speakers on timely and enduring issues.
