Nurses dedicate their lives to caring for others, but unfortunately, many do not feel supported at work. The American Nurses Association conducted a survey in 2023 that indicated that 2/3 of nurses who said they are suffering mental anguish or toxic emotions are either not seeking or not receiving mental health support, which is a horrifying statistic (American Nurses Association, 2023).

September has always been the month I have made career changes. It is because this is the time of year when school starts, and we all begin with a clean slate. Over the holiday weekend, I had time to reflect on my career. I have had a great career, with some great experiences that enabled me to grow and see things from many points of view.
