The pandemic has offered many unexpected lessons besides the obvious one of needing to augment essential worker preparedness and address urgent supply chain dilemmas throughout national and local public health organizations.

This article offers lessons and insights from front-line public health nurses who adopted novel approaches in patient communication to address problems with patient compliance regarding masking, physical distancing and receiving vaccinations.
