Nursing professor Cindy Drohn (’91)
Liberty University’s School of Nursing is the largest nursing program in Virginia, but just like the rest of the university as a whole, its early years were characterized by small class sizes and a commitment to Christ-centered education that continues today. In 1991, 32 Liberty students earned the university’s first Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees, and current professor Cindy Drohn has been able to experience both the past and present of the program as a member of that inaugural class and a professor today.

Quick, consistent response keeps campus thriving

LA GRANDE, Ore. – When Eastern Oregon University students returned to the La Grande campus in January, most of them already knew what to expect.
The small, rural campus was one of few to offer a significant number of in-person classes and services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students’ compliance with health and safety protocols allowed the university to keep case counts at a minimum while continuing operations.
Prior to the start of Winter Term, EOU proactively tested all on-campus students for COVID-19. Students living in on-campus residence halls tested once during Winter Break, and a second time upon returning to campus. Student-athletes complete regular COVID-19 tests to continue participation in practices.

The year 2020 delivered a lot of blows, and taught many people lessons they had never been forced to learn in a lifetime. At the very heart of it all, however, people learned to appreciate the healthcare and medical community in a whole new light, understanding just how important they are. It should come as no surprise that the Covid-19 pandemic brought to the forefront the many job opportunities the healthcare industry has to offer, whether that is front-line staff, patient-facing positions, or even back office administration people. Each position plays an important role in keeping people healthy.
The career of a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) is one that has really gained steam and started to become more well-known, not just to patients but to prospective students looking for that perfect career to pursue, and those already working in the medical industry who want to move up the career ladder.
