Hartford HealthCare colleagues were at Eastern Connecticut State University Monday to help kick off National Nurses Week and celebrate the university’s new bachelor of science in nursing degree program, a partnership between ECSU, The Center for Education, Simulation & Innovation (CESI) and Windham Hospital designed to prepare more nurses to work in eastern Connecticut.
East Region President Donna Handley and Hartford HealthCare Vice President for Nursing Professional Development and Practice Excellence Warly Remegio were among the speakers at the event, which included tours of ECSU’s new nursing lab and a demonstration of medical equipment by Stephen Donahue, director of operations at CESI.
