Feeling worn out by nursing and the healthcare system?
Tired of unsafe shifts for patients, your license, and yourself?
You're not alone.
I've been there.
I was once a very tired nurse just like you.
I felt victimized by the imperfections in nursing and healthcare.
The long hours, constant pressure, and emotional toll took a really hard hit on me.
I bet a lot of us, soldier on, silently enduring burnout, believing it's part of our profession.
At home every after shift, I vented about everything to my husband—the limited resources, inadequate staffing, and more.
But then I realized, that while I was hoping for change to happen, I was only doing the same thing every day.
They say if you want something to change, you have to do something different.
I realized ranting was the only thing I was doing.
I was silently enduring, forgetting the most important thing if you desire change:
TO GIVE FEEDBACK. TO SPEAK UP. TO USE OUR VOICE.
Silence won't change things.
Ranting alone won't help.
It's our voice that paves the way for change.
I understand, some may ask, what if our voices aren't heard?
What if our calls for change aren't embraced?
I say, stay resilient. Adjust, refine, and unite with colleagues.
Every action, every word has the power to create change.
It may not happen overnight, but with persistence, change will come.
So, to all my fellow nurses: Be bold. Be fearless. Be NurseStrong.
Speak up, advocate fiercely, and let's make a real difference, one voice at a time.
