Dear new nurse graduate,Welcome to a world unlike any other—a world brimming with happiness, sadness, confusion, self-doubt, defeat, and heroism. You’ve just stepped onto the first rung of a ladder that reaches into the unknown. Nursing is not easy, and there will be countless moments when you ask yourself, “What was I thinking?” or “Why did I choose this path?”But nursing isn’t just a job; it’s a lifelong journey, a calling. It will demand everything from you—mind, body, and soul.

Have you ever thought of someone, and then a few minutes later, they called or texted you? Have you ever felt or had a whole conversation in your mind to later be told that is exactly what someone was saying about you at the same time, even though you were physically in a different place? How can that be? Is it merely a “coincidence,” or are these beautiful hints from the universe to remind us that we are actually truly interconnected? That there is no separation between us?

Eight female nurses at a United Kingdom hospital are suing their employer for not assuring their psychological and physical safety. The nurses work in specialized areas that require their changing uniforms once daily. There is a trans-female nurse, similarly specialized, who changes with them.

Contact sports include boxing, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, and wrestling. Contact sports carry a high risk of injury and some people are advised not to take part in them.

I have been a registered nurse for 31 years. My path to determining that I wanted to be a nurse was more crooked than straight, and I am grateful. I never had any role models in nursing or people who were sick, which made me see this profession as a calling. I found nursing at a time when I needed to do something better with my life. As a young adult, I was floundering, and someone threw me a lifeline at a critical point in my life. Now that I’m here, it is my best LIFE decision.
