Esther McCready, Nursing Trailblazer 💙

As the first African American admitted to the University of Maryland School of Nursing, Esther McCready didn’t just pursue her dream—she helped change the future of nursing. Despite discrimination, isolation, and countless barriers, she stood firm in her purpose and paved the way for desegregation in nursing education.

Her story is one of courage, faith, and resilience—and a powerful reminder to never let anyone define your limits.

Join the Conversation: ISNA Community Book Club
Care is at the heart of everything we do — and it deserves space for reflection, learning, and connection.

We invite you to be part of our Members‑Only Book Club, a facilitated discussion series where nurses come together to explore powerful books about caregiving, healthcare, leadership, and the systems that shape our work.

Whether you’re looking to reconnect with why you entered the profession, expand your perspective, or simply enjoy a thoughtful conversation with colleagues, this book club offers a welcoming space to do just that.

What to expect:

Engaging, discussion‑based conversation
Books that center nursing, care, and health equity
Connection with peers from across the profession
Open to members only
Our first selection: Taking Care by Sarah DiGregorio - whether you’ve already read the book, plan to read it, or simply want to hear about it and join the discussion, join us!

Meeting details: To be determined with participants

Interested: Email Trudy@indiananurses.org to be included in further communication and planning

The "Hidden Vital Sign"

Did you know that chronic "survival mode" in nursing actually rewires the brain’s stress response? When we stay in high-alert for 12 hours at a time, our cortisol stays peaked, making it harder to sleep, focus, and find joy outside of work.

Try the "5-4-3-2-1" grounding technique during your next lunch break. Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you can taste. It takes 60 seconds to tell your nervous system it’s safe to decompress.

RSVP to learn more "Micro-Resilience" tools as we start our journey to A Safer Tomorrow.
