15,000 nurses are on strike for the third day running in Minnesota, and it’s not just about money. For five months, contract negotiations covering nurses in over a dozen hospital systems in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and Duluth went nowhere, so the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) decided to go on strike. It’s not just any […]
Imagine the shock: you’re half way down your drive from Florida to Wyoming for a travel nursing job, and you hear your contract has been canceled. No warning, no caveats: you simply thought you had a job, and then you didn’t, and now you have nothing to return to. Early last month, stories like these […]
Just like last year, we sent gifts to nurses across the country this Nurses Week. We sent out a bunch of different t-shirts, pretty flower badge reels, hip packs to keep your nursing supplies in, gift boxes of giant body cell plushies, designation badges, and even cash gifts to no fewer than 38 winners. And […]

Nurse employers are piling on the bonuses for new hires, as we told you […]

The job of a nurse doesn’t follow the schedule of other professionals. People don’t stop getting sick just because it’s summer — if anything the opposite, with Covid-19 numbers rising again. No long summer break for us! That sucks — but we can still use this season to stop and look at where we are […]
One of the things we consider most valuable about this blog is that it allows us to share the important and inspiring stories nurses have to tell. Stories that are not heard often enough!
