Heather Welch, an RN-to-BSN student at The University of Akron, as part of her Community Engagement course, created this health education video titled, "Coping and Stress Related to COVID-19" in the Madison School District. The information presented is useful to all school districts and good health information for all. This is one of the exciting projects you can engage in to influence healthcare as a BSN prepared nurse.
