HOW HAS A NURSE IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?

Nurses save and change lives every day. And when we ask people what impact a nurse has had on them and their family, they respond with stories of courage and innovation and caring that goes above and beyond. We’re here to bring these stories together and amplify your voices, demonstrating to our leaders and policymakers why they must support, protect and create positive change for nurses. So, tell us: how has a nurse impacted your life? 

A Nurse Kept Our Family Ranch Alive

When Nurse Practitioner John Hodges, FNP-C, APRN, MSN, opened Ralls Family Medicine in August 2022, a healthcare desert was no more. See how Hodges and his clinic help keep fifth-generation farmer and rancher Aric Cargile, his family and this West Texas community going. Which in turn keeps their farms and ranches going with The Power of Nurses.™

"The nurses and the team in that clinic are the highlight of my hospital days. They make a place that can feel really heavy actually feel safe...and even joyful at times."

Lilly Downs

Long COVID Patient

"Navigating [10 months over a span of 3 years in the hospital] was quite the challenge, but it would have been a million times harder without nurses. They made the hospitals bearable, and I genuinely don’t know what I would have done without them."
