Let's recognize nurses during National Nursing Week. What is it like to be a nurse? One of my dearest friends, Kirsten, shared her insights and experiences ... "The best part of my job is undoubtedly the people. Being there for individuals, serving as their advocate, and supporting their families during the most challenging times is incredibly fulfilling. However, it's also one of the most challenging aspects. The stress and fear that patients and families experience during illness or injury can be overwhelming. It requires a delicate balance of empathy and professionalism to navigate these raw emotions. Providing comfort, information, and assistance to help them through such difficult moments brings a sense of reward and fulfilment." "Nursing is not simply a business; it's about caring for people in their most vulnerable moments, and it's disheartening when financial considerations overshadow this fundamental aspect. Despite the challenges, nursing offers a diverse range of opportunities, allowing individuals to work in various specialties and settings. While it's a demanding career, many nurses are driven by a desire to make a difference in people's lives." "However, retaining nurses in the profession can be challenging due to various factors, including compensation and workload. Reducing administrative burdens would enable nurses to focus more on what truly matters—patient care. Overall, nursing is a rewarding yet demanding career that requires dedication, compassion, and resilience." Recognize the value and importance that nurses play in our healthcare system. Treat them with respect and support their work. They are under-appreciated and unbelievably overworked. Happy National Nursing Week to all the amazing nurses out there. 🎉 #NursingWeek #ThankYouNurses #NurseAppreciation #HealthcareHeroes #CelebrateNurses #NurseAdvocacy #NurseSupport

Confession time: I don’t particularly care for nursing bumper stickers. 🤷♂️ I might have caught your attention with a dash of 'clickbait', but I promise, it's for a good reason. 👇 As a fellow nurse, let me assure you, I’m not some disenchanted nurse who’s so jaded towards the profession that I want to put down the public image. I’m also not a nursing influencer looking for clicks by providing “hot takes” or controversial statements. Quite the opposite. My feelings stem from a deep-seated passion for our profession. 💗 😷 Nursing holds a special place in society, renowned for its reliability and compassionate care amidst the complexities of modern healthcare. We should wear our nursing pride like a badge of honor and share our stories with enthusiasm. 🎖 🏆 Yet, I've noticed a troubling trend: the celebration of nursing often gets pigeonholed into bedside roles. It's as if the only valid depiction of a nurse is one providing direct patient care and said bumper stickers. 💉 🤔 But as nurses, we know better. Our profession has evolved far beyond the days of being physician handmaidens. Today, we chart diverse career paths, from leadership roles to advanced practice. 🚀 🎓 So here's my point: let's redefine how we celebrate nursing. Let's honor nurses as the innovators, data experts, patient advocates, and the clinical stakeholders that they are. Nurses do and always have deserved a seat at the table. We need to start building those opportunities or ‘chairs’ into our academia and professional onboarding. 👩⚕️ 🏥 It's time to pave the way for nurses to thrive in all aspects of their profession. Let's celebrate nurses in every capacity, whether at the bedside or beyond🎇 #nursingpride #beyondthebedside #nurseinnovators #nursingevolution #celebratenurses #nurseleadership #nursingcareer #nursingcommunity #nurseadvocates #nurseempowerment #nursesonlinkedin #healthcareleadership American Nurses Association American Organization for Nursing Leadership American Nurse ANA-OHIO National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) National League for Nursing National Student Nurses' Association Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing American Board of Nursing Specialties American Academy of Nursing
