CCBN Space Talk #2: Nurses In Space
April 27, 2021 @ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
In the 1950's the first NASA Nurse dreamed of going into space... She never made it there, nor has any NASA nurse that followed her. Today, as the most trusted and versatile professionals in the world, nurses are classified by NASA as "non-qualifying" for space even though astronauts are indebted to their care. This month's featured panelist, Starr Schroeder, Registered Nurse and PoSSUM Astronaut Candidate, aims to break that barrier! Let's further the conversation about the necessity for nurses in space - not just in space support - and use what we discover to promote space for the next generation.
Join us and a panel of health industry experts on our mission to introduce students to space as a real possibility!
"The barriers that have been used to keep nurses out of the space program are the same barriers that are used to discourage youth from seeing themselves as an integral part of space reality – especially those in marginalized communities. CCBN Space Talks aims to change that!"
The second CCBN Space Talks session propels the mission to promote space for the next generation on Tuesday, April 27, 2021 from 5pm – 6:30pm MT. Stick around for a networking opportunity from 6:30 pm - 7:00 pm MT.
The CCBN Space Talks are a series of action oriented and solution-based conversations that will explore breaking barriers in space discovery for the next generation, and are hosted by the Colorado Council of Black Nurses Inc (CCBN) in a virtual environment.
Tuesday, April 27th is the second in a 6-talk series, taking place every last Tuesday of the month from March – August, culminating with the September launch of the Space Expo! A 5-day virtual assembly focusing on physical and applied sciences for preschool, elementary, middle and high school students, the Space Expo will start September 27, 2021 and culminate on October 1 – the 63rd anniversary of NASA’s opening!
CCBN’s Space Talks and Space Expo is one small step to encourage everyone, however able, to donate or influence the donation of resources so that children can be part of the giant leap for mankind and the greater good. Let’s promote space as a reality for the next generation.
