The Washington State University College of Nursing is now among the top 20 nursing schools nationally for National Institutes of Health research funding.
The WSU College of Nursing ranked No. 19 among nursing colleges in the United States last year for funding from the NIH, which is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world. The rankings are based on the federal fiscal year, which runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
In fiscal 2019 the WSU College of Nursing ranked 23
rd on that list, and ranked 27
th the year before that.
“This ranking and upward trend represent our college’s commitment to advancing health equity and promoting health,” said Julie Postma, PhD, associate dean for research and associate professor. “For example, our research reflects strength-based and community-centered approaches to improving Native men’s health, preventing suicide, and reducing health risks from wildfire smoke.”
Pharmacists are hot commodity as U.S. ramps up COVID-19 vaccine rollout By Megan Cerullo COVID-19 vaccines being sent to pharmacies
The urgent need to administer COVID-19 vaccines across the U.S. is stoking demand for another suddenly hot commodity: pharmacists.
The federal government this week began shipping vaccines to drugstores around the country as part of an effort to jump-start immunizations. As a result, pharmacies are adding pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and other support staff to deal with patients, manage vaccine supplies and give shots. Some employers are even offering five-figure sign-on bonuses for pharmacy students even before they complete their studies.

John McLain has had his share of practice with flu shots as a student at the Washington State University College of Nursing.
The COVID-19 vaccine, however, is “just such a bigger caliber,” he said.
“It’s a historic thing,” said McLain, who is among upward of 100 WSU nursing and pharmacy students to date helping vaccination sites administer coronavirus vaccines throughout the region.
WSU is partnering with area pharmacies, health care providers and county public health districts particularly in Spokane and Whitman counties to coordinate student efforts at vaccination sites on a volunteer basis or through clinical assignments, college officials said.
