POSTPONED (Originally scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2020)
Oak Point University is proud to host a live-streamed Thinking Out Loud Speaker Series for men, by men. “Men in Nursing” is a free, online event that brings together a panel of male nursing professionals to talk about what it’s like to be a nurse in today’s healthcare environment. What are the advantages? What are the obstacles? Are there still stigmas attached? It’s unscripted. Uncensored. And sure to be unforgettable.
