Hello everyone am New here ☺️

As a passionate advocate for nurse wellness and entrepreneurship, I’m dedicated to helping healthcare professionals rediscover balance, fulfillment, and purpose. After experiencing the pressures and burnout that so many nurses face, I knew there was a better way to live a meaningful life without sacrificing health and happiness. I have dozens of friends who are nurses, and when I ask them, 'Would you choose nursing as a profession again?' the overwhelming response has been no. It's disheartening to hear this from people who entered the field with so much passion and dedication, but it’s a reflection of the immense stress, burnout, and lack of support so many nurses face today. I created this community to support all nurses in managing stress, practicing mindfulness, and exploring alternative career paths that allow them to leverage their skills in ways that reduce burnout. Whether through self-reflection, finding a place to safely vent, “meeting” others who are having the same issue, discovering new entrepreneurial opportunities outside of traditional healthcare, or simple stress-relief techniques, my mission is to guide nurses toward reclaiming their joy—both in their personal and professional lives. Together, we can break free from the pressures of traditional healthcare roles, find our own paths to wellness, and make a living doing what we love.

I recently heard that a incredible number of nurses had childhood trauma. In a recent study, 40% of nursing students surveyed had an ACES of 4 or more versus the national average of 12.5–13.3% of the general population having an ACES of 4 or more. Are we “Walking Wounded” as Contri-O’hare theorizes?
