Support School of Nursing COVID-19 Efforts
The faculty and staff at the UW School of Nursing have been working to develop innovative solutions to the challenges proposed by the coronavirus pandemic. Most recently, we implemented three new clinical opportunities to allow our students to safely learn, meet curriculum requirements, and serve in a time when there is a very urgent public need for nursing skills. If you would like to support the School’s response to the coronavirus, there are two ways that you can do so:
COVID-19 Response Support
Nurses are on the frontlines of fighting this pandemic. From conducting research to participating in clinicals, our priority is the safety of our students and faculty. Please consider giving to our COVID-19 support fund, which will be used to purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) to help them serve our community effectively and safely.
Emergency Student Support
Many of our students are experiencing financial hardships as they continue with their studies. We invite you to make a gift to the Fathi Family Endowed Emergency Fund for Nursing Students. This fund was created in partnership with the Fathi Family to provide support to our students to continue their education.
