At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

What does it mean to be a nursing activist?
- Using our voice 📣 … both loudly & quietly
- Letting our ability, skill & passion for nursing shine ✨… so value of nursing is evident (yes - ‘show off’!)
- Connecting & drawing strength from each other.. together we are stronger

📢Pleased to share my new publication in the @AmerJSurgery
A satirical look at how academic recognition can sometimes be more ceremonial than transformational
But the real question is not who is invited to the ballroom — but whether those encounters leave something meaningful behind. ✨🤝
