Abstract

The pandemic jolted our healthcare professionals like none other in modern history. Though it was a crisis of unparalleled proportion, it brought out the best in the nursing professional development unit of a minority nurses association. In this article, the authors describe the journey of a professional development unit that empowered nurses with "just-in-time" education for knowledge and competence to manage the pandemic.
