Your voice carries your experience, your perspective, and your truth. These 6 tips are about more than just speaking: they’re about listening to yourself, honoring what matters to you, and giving yourself permission to show up fully. The more you practice, the more your voice becomes a tool for connection, clarity, and courage, even in the moments that feel uncomfortable or uncertain.

These tips aren’t just ideas; they’re tools you can use today. The more you practice, the more they become second nature, helping you respond thoughtfully, even when your patience is tested.

Being an empowerful parent is about showing up with awareness, presence, and loving intention. That's it.

🚨 MISSING TEENS 🚨 17-year-old Jada Colon and 15-year-old Nevaeh Colon have been missing from Hardin County, Tennessee since January 31, 2026. A deputy with the Hardin County Sheriff's Department was dispatched to 4015 Lonesome Pine Rd regarding the two missing girls after their mother reported she left the residence around 8:30 a.m. and both girls were at home. She stated there was no power, so she went to a friend’s house to take a shower, and when she returned she found a note from the girls stating they were going to the creek to play their instruments, but they did not return. Harbert Hills Academy also sent people to search the area mentioned in the note from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. As of 8:00 p.m., there was still no sign of the girls. They do not have a phone, at least not one their mother is aware of. At this time, there is no known clothing description for either girl.

Jada Colon is described as 5'4" and 120 pounds, with black hair about shoulder length.

Nevaeh Colon is described as 5'1" and 115 pounds, with long dark curly brown hair with blonde streaks.

If you see them, make contact with them, or have any information on their location, please call 911 or Hardin County Central Dispatch at 731-925-4989 or 731-925-9007.

Time matters in cases like this. Please share this post so more people know to be on the lookout, and leave a comment to help boost visibility. The right person seeing their faces at the right moment could make all the difference. 💙❤️🧡💛

I keep hearing this argument from nurses:

“There’s no room for politics in nursing.”
And I say, "Erm, actually, quite the contrary."

Nursing has always been political. Community and public health nursing explicitly assess environmental, social, and systemic factors because health does not exist in a vacuum. Housing, access, safety, education, policies - these things directly shape our patient's outcomes.

Advanced nursing education doesn’t shy away from this. Civil and human rights, advocacy, health equity, and political engagement to advance the profession and protect patients are foundational concepts.

Caring for people while ignoring the systems that harm or help them is neglectful. Advocacy isn’t optional in nursing. It’s a huge part of the job.

The American Holistic Nurses Association joins the national nursing community in mourning the death of our colleague, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, RN.

In moments like these, many of us are holding grief, shock, fear, and fatigue—sometimes all at once. As holistic nurses, we are reminded to return to our core AHNA values: Compassion, Authenticity, Integrity, Wellness, and Inclusivity.

Wellness during difficult times includes intentional self-care:

✨ Checking in with our emotions and energy
✨ Honoring our capacity and limits
✨ Practicing gratitude and prayer or reflection
✨ Offering quiet acts of care to those in need

We invite you to pause with us, to hold those who are grieving gently in your heart, and to direct intentions of peace, love, and healing where you feel called.

Connection matters.

Please check in with one another, listen deeply, and remember that your presence—calm, caring, and authentic—is a powerful form of healing.

Let’s clear something up real quick, historically, legally, and professionally.

***Updated***

Yes, the word “nurse” has been used in many ways across history, long before professional nursing existed. That does not mean those roles represent nursing as a profession.

Professional nursing was created to replace untrained custodial care with education, standards, independent clinical judgment, and accountability.

Once nursing became a profession, it was never intended to function as “helping”. Instead, it became about:
* Assessing patients
* Tracking patterns
* Managing symptoms
* Preventing complications
* Coordinating care
* Improving survival through holistic care: environment, hygiene, nutrition, preventions, and rest

Florence Nightingale used data and outcomes to change the systems, which resulted in dramatically reduced death rates.

Sounds more like leadership and disrupting the status quo for improved patient care than “helping.”

🏥 Hospitals didn’t create nursing, they captured it

As hospitals grew, they needed nurses to function. But they really just wanted nursing labor, not nursing power...

So nursing was shifted from:
➡️ services & outcomes
➡️ to hourly coverage & tasks

Hourly pay wasn’t about fairness, it was about control. (That tracks, huh?) They wanted to:

* Control nurses
* Control schedules
* Control scope
* Control costs
* Keep nursing tied to hospital walls

Nothing in nursing law or education requires hourly employment.
That was a business decision, and not a nursing one.

💰 Nursing has value — it’s just financially invisible

Research consistently shows nursing care reduces:

* Mortality
* Complications
* Readmissions
* Length of stay

But nursing care is bundled into room charges, not reimbursed as a service. So hospitals benefit from nursing outcomes
without paying for nursing judgment. That’s not accidental.

⚖️ Nurses are NOT legally “helpers”

Legally:

* Nurses have independent licenses
* Nurses are accountable for their own assessments and decisions
* Courts do NOT view nurses as extensions of physicians

If nurses were “helpers,” malpractice law wouldn’t work the way it does.

🚨 Why nurses are pushing back now?

Because the system relies on nurses to:

* Absorb unsafe staffing
* Compensate for system failures
* Emotionally regulate patients & families
* Prevent harm no one bills for

And when nurses stop working, everything stops. Not because doctors can’t diagnose, but because nursing is the connective tissue holding care together.

🔥 The truth?

Nursing is:

* Its own profession
* Its own body of knowledge
* Its own clinical judgment
* Its own ethical responsibility

Hospitals didn’t invent that, they just benefited from it. And I believe we deserve to have our profession back.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
