Event Information:

This presentation will explore what happens when we lose sight of why we became nurses, why we need one another more than ever, and the incredible power of standing together as a profession. Through personal stories, bedside reflections, and a call to collective strength, this talk challenges nurses to reconnect with their purpose, recognize the impact of solidarity and advocacy, and remember that we are stronger when we support one another. Because sometimes you have to laugh so you don’t cry in the supply room, the presentation will end with a touch of healthcare comedy that celebrates the absurdity, humanity, and shared experiences of working in healthcare.
