On Thursday October 8, 2009, the Oklahoma Wesleyan University School of Nursing coordinated and delivered a flu shot clinic for City of Bartlesville employees. Over 30 nursing students rotated shifts throughout the day providing flu shots to over 280 City employees at two different locations. The nursing students provided injections and the flu mist to assist in protecting city employees and their families from Influenza type B. The effort was at the request of Shelly Megal, City of Bartlesville Human Resource Director, Brenda Davis, RN, Washington County Health Department, and the Bartlesville EMT department.
According to Becky Le, Dean of the School of Nursing, “Our vision is to be Christ’s hands and heart to touch the world one person, family, and community at a time. This was an opportunity for our students to put their knowledge to practical use.”
The School of Nursing at Oklahoma Wesleyan University prepares nurse generalists with knowledge of biological, physical, social and behavioral sciences, enhanced by a background in the humanities and the Christian faith. The school’s BSN degree is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and has full approval from the Oklahoma Board of Nursing.
