SIUE School of Nursing Hosts Rep. Rodney Davis
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Nursing (SON) hosted U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (IL-13th District) on Monday, June 18.
Davis toured the SON’s facilities in Alumni Hall, watched one of the simulation scenarios in the SON’s simulation lab, and spoke with students and faculty.
“Having the opportunity to showcase our School of Nursing to Congressman Davis during his visit to the SIUE campus today was an honor and a privilege,” said SON Dean Laura Bernaix, PhD, RN. “Congressman Davis’ knowledge of, and concern for, how both the nursing workforce and nurse educator shortages are impacting the delivery of healthcare services to our region was clearly evident.”
Davis expressed his dedication to addressing the nursing shortages in Illinois and encouraged the SON to continue to do all it can to reverse those trends.
