Michigan nurses urge the hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID amid delta threat
DETROIT – Stalled COVID-19 vaccination rates are causing concern in Michigan and across the U.S., particularly as the more contagious delta variant spreads throughout the nation.
In Michigan, the percentage of residents who are fully vaccinated against the virus has not moved beyond just over 62% for some time and the numbers are even lower among people of color. As of Sunday, only 28.7% of non-Hispanic Black residents in Michigan are fully vaccinated.
MSU program aims to double number of specialized sexual assault nurses
EAST LANSING – Michigan has more than 160,000 licensed nurses working around the state, but only a tiny fraction of them have specialized certification to assess and treat survivors of sexual violence.
A program at the Michigan State University s College of Nursing aims to nearly double that figure. The university received a $1.4 million federal grant to certify nurses as sexual assault nurse examiners. The training program will start in January 2022.
“These nurses are really able to provide compassionate, supportive, respective care to sexual assault survivors,” said Katherine Dontje, the project’s leader and an associate professor at the College of Nursing.
