Rebuilding New Orleans, one nurse at a time

The purpose of this article is to share insights from nursing faculty as they rallied to graduate Level II sophomores at Delgado Community College Charity School of Nursing in New Orleans post-Katrina. Nursing of the Adult Client II faculty assembled students to return to class 6 weeks after Katrina and complete their curriculum in a compressed semester. The students graduated with only a 1-month delay with a 90% pass rate for the National Council Licensure Examination.
