With Dedication and Focus, Doctoral Student Embodies the ‘Year of the Nurse’

The World Health Organization declared 2020 the “Year of the Nurse,” celebrating the nursing profession’s dedication to caring for the world, a theme selected before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.

One Georgia State University alumna and nursing student especially personifies this dedication and focus.

Ebonee Gresham, a doctor of nursing practice (D.N.P.) student, juggles two jobs as incident commander for COVID-19 testing and her regular position as a Health Department clinical nurse coordinator. On days assigned to work as an incident commander, she sets up in a public parking lot to test patients for the coronavirus and oversee other nurses doing the same. At her regular job at a local health department, she manages operations of the clinic, supervises nurses at the site and manages the clinic’s budget.
