We interview two honorees from this summer's Women Deliver conference: a community health worker with an innovative strategy and a nurse who aims to heal the sick and bolster her profession.
The woman was unresponsive, and nurses were unable to detect her breathing. A state agency report found the facility "failed to ensure residents received dignified treatment and care at end of life."
The Los Angeles Unified School District began virtual classes this week. The second-largest U.S. school district hopes students will be back in classrooms this year. To do that, nurses will be key.
