POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The Nurse Alex Pretti Scholarship was created in honor and memory of Alex, a Minnesota healthcare professional whose life was tragically taken far too soon. Alex dedicated his life to caring for others during their most vulnerable moments, and his legacy continues through future caregivers who lead with compassion, resilience, and heart.

Because of the generosity of our community, WeCare is honored to award TWO $5,000 scholarships to nursing students who embody the spirit of healthcare, showing up for others even when it’s hard.

Recipients will be announced live at the 2026 WeCare Conference. Winners will also receive complimentary conference admission, so if possible we can celebrate them in person.

If you’re a future nurse with a story to share, we want to hear from you. And if you know someone who deserves this opportunity, please send this to them.

• Applications close July 15th
• Transcripts, letters of recommendation, and resumes are encouraged
• Scholarships are paid directly to recipients’ nursing programs

Comment SCHOLARSHIP and we’ll send you the application link. 👇

You cannot take care of others in a system that doesn’t care for itself.

Healthcare workers are exhausted, overextended, and too often left out of the conversations shaping the very systems we work in every day. If we want safer hospitals, healthier communities, and better outcomes for patients, we need leaders willing to work hand in hand with those on the frontlines.

On the latest episode of Pulse Check Wisconsin, we sit down with County Executive David Crowley (@crowleyforwi), who is running for Governor, to discuss how legislators and healthcare workers can partner together to address healthcare worker violence, staffing challenges, access to care, and building a system that finally gives healthcare professionals a real voice.

Because protecting healthcare workers means protecting patients too.

I want to be clear…the issue of healthcare worker violence will not get better if left unchecked. It does not get better with emails, modules sent to victims, or sympathies without meaningful action behind them.

It is imperative that we hold our hospitals, healthcare systems, and communities accountable for protecting those who dedicate their lives to caring for others. We must support elected officials who are willing to take these issues seriously and fight for safer environments for healthcare workers everywhere.

Check out the latest episode of Pulse Check Wisconsin featuring Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who is running for Governor, as we discuss healthcare worker violence, public safety, and the future of healthcare in Wisconsin.

This week, we dive into debriefing in healthcare. Sibyl and Micheline explore its purpose, how to get nurses on board, variations across different units, the impact of high-acuity environments, and the different emotional and professional goals of debriefing. It’s so important to address moral distress and create a safe space for nurses to openly communicate about mental health!

Listen today, wherever you get your podcasts, and let us know what you think! 💛

Sending love to the family and friends of Ada Doss — and to everyone who has lost someone, or who carries their own wounds, from violence in healthcare.

A lot of healing comes from recognizing that the version of you who developed certain habits, fears, or coping mechanisms was simply trying to survive what they knew at the time.
.
.
But survival versions of ourselves are not always meant to become permanent identities. Growth often requires reevaluating the beliefs, behaviors, and patterns that once protected you but may now be limiting you.
.
.
You are allowed to evolve beyond old narratives. You are allowed to set boundaries, choose differently, and become someone who feels safer, healthier, and more aligned with the life you want.
.
.
A big part of self-awareness is honoring who you had to be while also giving yourself permission to become someone new.

The dissolution of the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) has left many forensic nurses shocked, frustrated, and grieving the loss of an organization that shaped our specialty for decades. According to reports and discussions within the forensic nursing community, financial instability, allegations of embezzlement/fraud, loss of grant funding, and organizational restructuring ultimately led to ENA assuming stewardship of IAFN’s education, resources, and membership programs.
.
.
While ENA has stepped in to preserve many forensic nursing resources, a lot of forensic nurses are still searching for a professional organization dedicated specifically to forensic nursing as its primary mission.
.
.
That’s where Academy of Forensic Nursing (AFN) comes in.
AFN is actively growing and continuing to advocate for forensic nursing through:
.
.
• Continuing education with CE opportunities
• FREE live Wednesday webinars
• FREE forensic nursing podcasts
• A members-only resource hub
• Online member discussion boards
• Research, mentoring, and publishing opportunities
• Networking with forensic nursing experts
• Conference discounts
• Scholarships to EVAWI conferences
• Special interest groups
• Committee service opportunities
• Position statements and advocacy work
• Discounts on books, learning, and equipment
• Distinguished memberships recognizing leaders in forensic nursing
.
.
Forensic nursing deserves a strong, transparent, specialty-focused community. Whether you’re a SANE nurse, death investigator, correctional nurse, legal nurse consultant, pediatric forensic nurse, or working in any part of this field staying connected and continuing education matters.
.
.
Right now AFN is offering 20% OFF memberships with Discount Code AFN2026 through May 31st.
.
.
This specialty is NOT disappearing. Forensic nurses are still here, still fighting for patients, and still advancing this profession forward. 🖤

To every nurse working days, nights, weekends, holidays, and the moments in between that no one sees… Happy Nurses Week.
.
.
Nursing is more than medications, charting, and long shifts. It is holding pressure on trauma wounds, advocating when no one else will, comforting families during the worst moments of their lives, and showing up again the next day to do it all over again.
.
.
Behind every “strong nurse” is a human being who has missed sleep, skipped meals, carried heartbreak home, and still found a way to care for others with compassion.
.
.
To the nurses who feel exhausted, underappreciated, burned out, or unseen, what you do matters more than you know. Patients may forget the details of their hospital stay, but they never forget how a nurse made them feel.
.
.
Here’s to the nurses holding it together with caffeine, dark humor, teamwork, and pure resilience. Thank you for everything you do.
.
.
Happy Nurses Week to the backbone of healthcare.♥️

Happy Nurses Week to the most badass group of humans I’m proud to stand beside.

If you know a nurse—hug them. Thank them.
Because when you ask how our day was and we say “fine,” it’s not the truth—it’s the only version we know how to give. It’s the only version most people can handle.

How can I tell you I just took care of a teenager who was walking yesterday and today will never be the same?

How can I tell you I sat with a patient’s family for hours while they decided if they wanted to pull life support?

How can I tell you I still dream about losing my favorite patient, like she was my own family member—as if it were yesterday?

How can I tell you I held a mother while she collapsed after unexpectedly losing her child?

How can I tell you I wonder if I’ll ever have a kid, while seeing child abuse cases come through far too often?

Most people can’t hear these stories—let alone live them. And still, nurses show up. With skill, compassion, and just enough humor to survive it.

We give more than we’re ever given credit for.

So if you know a nurse—remind them they matter. They need to hear it more than you think. And yeah… maybe buy them a drink. 🤍
