I’ve created this website to celebrate nursing — all that is good and positive about the profession. I also want to empower nurses to recognize and appreciate their value and worth and to feel proud about who they are and what they do. I want nurses to learn to be more assertive, vocal, and proactive in their own profession. Why? Because empowered nurses are happier and better compensated. They provide better patient care and are better role models, mentors, leaders, and patient advocates.

Nurses are healthcare experts. We possess a great body of knowledge and experience that is marketable and valuable in many settings. We are also the largest group of all healthcare providers. Imagine if we spoke in one loud voice — the planet would reverberate!

Please visit this site often, tell your friends about it, and link to it if you can. You are guaranteed to find something new almost weekly over the next few months. I encourage you to share your own empowerment stories, pass on empowering resources and links, and tell me what you love about nursing.

So here’s to you my fellow nurses, students, future nurses, and friends: You do have the power — Nurse Power! Make it work for you and for all of us.
