KCON teams with GRPM to celebrate Nurses Week
May 17, 2016
The Kirkhof College of Nursing teamed with the Grand Rapids Public Museum to celebrate National Nurses Week with an exhibit and film screening.
Two screenings of "The American Nurse Project," which followed five nurses in various practice specialties, were held May 10 at the museum. Many KCON students, faculty and staff members, alumni and community partners attended.
Cynthia McCurren, dean of KCON, said the film captured the broad scope of and significance of nursing as a profession.
KCON also contributed nursing-related items for a mini-exhibit at the museum, "Nursing: A Dynamic Profession." Dale Robertson, president and CEO of GRPM, said the exhibit celebrates the contributions of nurses throughout West Michigan and the world by showcasing objects from the past and present day.
The exhibit continues through May 29.
"KCON appreciates the opportunity to collaborate with the Grand Rapids Public Museum to offer this experience for our community," McCurren said.
