The Biden-Harris transition team named Jane Hopkins, RNMH, to its COVID-19 Advisory Board. Hopkins worked for over 20 years as a bedside nurse, most recently at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and Snoqualmie (Wash.) Hospital and serves on the state’s COVID task force and Safe Start Advisory Board. She is also executive vice president of SEIU Healthcare 1199NW. AONL was among many nursing organizations urging the Biden administration to appoint a nurse to the transition team’s COVID-19 Advisory Board. Last month, AONL CEO and American Hospital Association Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Robyn Begley wrote to the president-elect noting, “including the nursing perspective is critical as your team prepares to address this crisis as well as others we may face in the future.” (Biden-Harris Transition news release, 11/28/20)
