I was a guest on Dr. Scott Gabriel Knowles’s live-streamed daily podcast, COVIDCalls. Professor Knowles has hosted more than 400 weeknight discussions over the course of the pandemic. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics that centered on safety, or lack of safety, as we navigate the tumultuous times of the COVID-19 era. Thank you, Dr. Knowles, your questions were thoughtful and you are a wonderful listener. I appreciated being on your show and am honored that pandemic school nursing is now part of the COVID-Calls archive.
