Gordon State College students
help with vaccine distribution
Gordon State College’s
nursing department
partnered with District 4
Public Health to adminis
ter COV1D-19 vaccines in
Barnesville on Wednes
day, Jan. 13. District 4
Public Health collabo
rates with organizations,
agencies and companies
to deliver coordinated
health care resources
and support within its
12-county service area.
“The vaccine clinic
was a very fun and
educational experience! 1
really enjoyed meeting so
many individuals in the
community and helping
out during such a criti
cal period,” said Chelsea
Brown, who is a second
semester BSN Nursing
student.
District 4 Public
Health will continue to
administer vaccines
to those eligible every
Wednesday and Friday
for the foreseeable fu
ture. GSC student nurses
and faculty will also
continue to participate
in this program as their
schedules permit.
“We are so proud of
our nursing students and
professors helping our
community during this
very challenging time,
said Dr. Jeffery Knigh
ton, provost and vice
president for academic
affairs. “Without a doubt
our nursing program
provides outstanding
preparation for our stu
dents; part of the reason
is that our students
receive very “real world”
training. While the past
year has been difficult,
our students and faculty
have gone above and
beyond in working to
protect the health of all
of us.”
For more Information
on how to schedule an
appointment to receive
the COV1D-19 vaccine,
visit district4health.org
or call 800-847-4262.
“The opportunity to
work with the District
4 on this project came
about as a result of the
on-going relationship be
tween the college and La
mar County nurse man
ager Sherry Farr,” said
Dr. Samantha Bishop,
director of nursing in the
school of Nursing Health
and Natural Sciences.
GSC student nurses
were asked to partici
pate in the vaccination
program due to the over
whelming need to admin
ister the vaccine to as
many people who qualify
as quickly as possible.
In order to qualify as a
volunteer, GSC student
nurses participated in
training provided by the
Georgia Department of
Public Health. They were
supervised on-site by Dr.
Elizabeth Nwabuebo, a
full-time nursing faculty
member at GSC who said
this is a great experience
for the next generation
of nurses not only giving
back to the community
but truly saving lives.
Volunteering for
service-learning oppor
tunities is not new to the
student nurses at GSC.
Bachelor of Science in
Nursing students partici
pate in service-learning
experiences such as
vaccine clinics and hear
ing, vision and scoliosis
screenings at community
public schools as well
as public health fairs as
part of their course of
study every semester.
While not required of the
Associate of Science in
Nursing students, these
students also volunteer
for service-learning op
portunities regularly.
“We have an over
whelming volunteer
outreach program for
our GSC student nurses.
These options are grow
ing, and they are very
successful, continued
Bishop. “Our nursing
graduates are very ac
complished and well
trained. On average, they
score over 90 percent
on the National Coun
cil for Licensing Exam
for Registered Nurses
(NCLEX) every year, and
they regularly go on to
serve the workforce in
the area.”
