No Shortage of Adversity: Courageous Nurses Welcome to Apply.

Abstract

Just as experienced nurses can palpate subtle physical changes, they also have a finger on the pulse of their profession and can sense a transformation. Nurses can see that our societal dust is settling unexpectedly in a postpandemic landscape, altering our communities and profession. Nurses are uniquely positioned to feel the collective squeeze of our changed world in our daily work at the bedside or in the boardroom. Modern nurses face highly complex problems, and nursing requires courage to keep going because our patients and our communities need us. This article is about finding courage in the face of hardship.
