The Campaign
We’re excited to launch our “Built to Be Badass” campaign during the 2022 National Nurses Week. At its core, “Built to Be Badass” celebrates the profession of nursing, the nurses of today and tomorrow, the history of nursing, and the history of Oak Point University as an institution that’s educated nurses since 1914
The campaign features nurses and their stories with the goal to celebrate and empower them. We want to tell the world that what nurses do every day is not only difficult but highly challenging—in all aspects—emotionally, physically, and intellectually. And they do their jobs with empathy, grace, determination, and grit. Nurses are smart, resilient, and resourceful like no other. They are true badasses.
