“Nursing doesn’t need more followers— It needs voices that challenge, innovate, and lead.” As a student nurse from rural Alabama, I’m not waiting until I graduate to shape the future of nursing, because I can already see where change is needed. From hospital closures and nurse staffing crises to the growing disconnect between policy and practice, the profession is in a state of urgency.

As Nurses, we witness the incredible resilience and unique journeys of individuals every single day. July marks an important occasion: Disability Pride Month. Disability Pride isn't about denying the challenges that can come with living with a disability. Instead, it's about embracing disability as a natural and valuable aspect of human diversity. It's about dismantling stigma, fighting for accessibility, and recognizing the immense contributions of disabled individuals to society.

The promise of virtual care is no longer theoretical and is now a critical solution to many of healthcare’s most urgent challenges. Yet many healthcare leaders remain unsure how to build a business case for investment and launching the right program at the right time can be the difference between value and failure. For organizations seeking a financially sound, clinically effective entry point, Virtual Patient Observation (VPO) offers a compelling case to lead with.

A culture of support enhances success. The learning that occurs when a student or new nurse works with a preceptor can prove pivotal in their professional journey. Preceptors—who educate students, new graduates, and new employees in the clinical environment—continue to demonstrate a positive effect on recruitment, onboarding, and retention. They have a significant impact on how new graduates experience the beginning of their career.

Storytelling and data are the keys to successful advocacy efforts, say these nurse leaders. Legislators play a key role in nursing practice, from scope of practice to workplace violence prevention to patient care delivery. But right now, most of the elected officials making decisions about nursing policy are not nurses. According to a 2023 study , the number of nurses serving as legislators has declined from 2013.

The landscape surrounding nursing education in the acute care setting continues to evolve, in part to accommodate the influx of Generation Z (Gen Z) nurses born between 1997 and 2012. This tech-savvy generation grew up during the internet era, using app-based services and social media. According to Min and colleagues, this cohort has had to adapt to rapidly changing digital innovations during their lives.

Suzette “Suzy” Valladares has worn many hats throughout her nursing career—Pediatric ICU nurse, trauma specialist, hurricane responder, and now Director of Nursing for individuals with developmental disabilities. But in the fall of 2023, she took on a role no nurse ever anticipates: cancer patient. Her story is one of grit, grace, and full-circle caregiving—making her the perfect honoree as this week’s Nurse of the Week.

Take these two steps toward a successful job change. Haven’t we all daydreamed about it at some point? Tapping out a quick resignation email to our manager, clicking “send,” and striding confidently out the door and into our new, exciting, perfect job? It’s certainly alluring, this idea that we can make a simple job change and leave all of our unhappiness and burnout behind.

The foot, a complex structure, has 26 bones and 33 joints, which all have to work properly to allow each person an average of 115,000 miles in their lifetime. Our feet carry us through this world, and their ability to acclimate to changes in terrain protect us from falls, the number one cause of injuries and death from injury in older Americans. Healthy feet and proper footwear reduce the risk of falling.

Make a difference in the hospital and community. From motor vehicle collisions and geriatric falls to domestic abuse and community violence, incidents that lead to injury negatively impact individuals, families, and communities. These incidents also have pronounced detrimental outcomes on public health and perceptions of well-being. Understanding the issues that lead to injuries and violence helps us better develop and implement evidence-based programs to decrease their prevalence.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace. In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno
