As we come upon Thanksgiving Day, Pocket Nurse wants to express our thanks that we have been able to meet the challenges of 2020. We have worked very hard to meet the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), hand sanitizers, disinfectant cleaning supplies, face masks and shields, and protective barriers.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated $14 billion to post-secondary institutions to use with the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) portion. Schools can use these funds for distance learning equipment, financial aid to students, and other supplies and equipment that support their curricula.
