Police officers coming to the aid of a stranded, frightened motorist caught in flooding waters. Soldiers putting themselves in harm\u2019s way to save a wounded comrade. They\u2019re labeled heroes by the public, often shunning the praise they rightfully deserve.<\/p>\n

In the last year, nurses and healthcare workers have emerged as the country\u2019s newest heroes, facing an insidious enemy \u2013 namely, Covid-19 caused by the coronavirus \u2013 that has taken the lives\u00a0of more than 500,000 Americans and sickened tens of millions more.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one could have foreseen a year ago that our country would be entrenched in such a healthcare crisis. It\u2019s unlike anything we have faced in a century,\u201d said Kathleen Burke, assistant dean of Ramapo College\u2019s Nursing Program. Area hospitals were overwhelmed, with cafeterias being converted to make-shift intensive care units to accommodate the rapidly-rising number of patients. Help was desperately needed.<\/p>\n

Ramapo\u2019s nursing faculty, students and alumni answered the call.<\/h6>\n

Burke said the College\u2019s nursing faculty, many of whom also are hospital staff, had to act quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was like, okay, how do we make this work? It took a huge amount of innovation,\u201d Burke said, adding that they went into it \u201cblind, having to change protocols daily. I heard from staff that they had to take a crash course on how to become an ICU nurse in a week just to accommodate the influx of patients. It was truly an interdisciplinary effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burke also said the students in the nursing class of 2020 received approval by the state to work in mid-May \u2013 a few weeks earlier than usual \u2013 because of the pandemic and the need to get them in the field as soon as possible. \u201cBut they met the challenge and were prepared to do the work they trained for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet, despite the increased demands that this crisis has placed on the nursing profession, Ramapo\u2019s nursing program has experienced a noticeable surge in enrollment numbers since the pandemic began last spring.\u00a0In a typical academic admissions cycle, the College\u2019s nursing program has been one of the most popular choices of incoming undergraduate students, receiving about 700 applications, with 100 students accepted.<\/p>\n

Burke noted that last year nearly 1,200 applications poured in, and the 2020-2021 freshman class grew to 167 students. \u201cIt\u2019s remarkable, but not surprising. Students who enter the nursing profession are special. They\u2019re driven and they feel they have a calling to help people.\u201d

At the end of the day, you go home knowing that you\u2019ve saved a life, eased someone\u2019s pain, or ushered a newborn into the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The last year has been especially challenging for nurses. In the early months of 2020, Covid-19 patients completely filled hospital space, elective surgeries were put on hold, and patients with non-emergency conditions were directed to telemedicine diagnosis and treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic also brought another unexpected blow. \u201cHealthcare workers weren\u2019t prepared for the emotional toll it was taking on them,\u201d Burke said. \u201cFamily-centered care was suddenly not allowed. Nurses were FaceTiming with family members who weren\u2019t allowed to see or visit their loved ones. They needed to provide \u2018bundled care\u2019 \u2013 instead of making typical rounds to take vitals, check in on patients, etc. They were only allowed periodic visits to patient rooms to cut down the risk of infection to themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramapo alumna Katie Balsamo Arno \u201915 is a palliative nurse practitioner in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, area. Originally from Berkeley Heights, N.J., she received her BSN in 2015 and earned her MSN in 2020. Katie previously worked as a hospice nurse case manager which, she said, meant dealing with very fragile patients. It was understood, she said, that the patients were living the last days of their lives, often at home, and the families played an important part of the patient\u2019s well-being. \u201cThis is quite different now. The stress of the pandemic has intensified for the patients and the families who are living in heightened anxiety and fear,\u201d Arno said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In many facilities, constantly changing state rules and regulations dictate visitor restrictions to help keep their residents safe from the virus. \u201cWhile I understand that safety is always a priority, it breaks my heart to see my patients decline so quickly and eventually die from loneliness,\u201d Arno said. \u201cWe aim to help promote the best possible quality of life and get creative with window visits, video calls, and patio visits, while masked up from six feet away. But sometimes a hug from a loved one is a lot more effective than any medication you can prescribe. It is so challenging to help provide comfort in these situations. There is truly something to be said about the power in holding someone\u2019s hand and giving them a warm smile.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cOur junior students are doing their clinicals in 12-hour shifts to provide a more realistic nursing experience. The seniors are on shifts in three area hospital DEUs (Dedicated Education Units). Both are wonderful learning experiences but they did not expect to have to deal with very ill patients in the middle of a pandemic,\u201d Burke said.<\/p>\n

She emphasized that the College\u2019s Nursing Program also prepares students to work with social workers, who are facing their own challenges as mental health issues become more prevalent; nutritionists to help evaluate rising food insecurity; and the ever-changing safety guidelines and restrictions from state and national health organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cResilience. Dedication. Love for our chosen profession. This is what nursing is all about. This is what we do,\u201d Burke said.<\/p>\n

Katie Balsamo Arno summed it up.<\/h3>\n

Families look to their nurse for guidance, education, and support in some of life\u2019s most challenging times. I have come to realize that nursing is one of the greatest, most rewarding professions. Not only do you get to make a difference in someone\u2019s life, but they make a huge difference in your life as well.\u201d
