Why:
The Story of Nurses Moving Forward
Sparked by a conversation between a diversely seasoned nurse and a nursing student that lead to more exciting chatter with other nursing students and colleagues. Then the realization that many nurses were asking the same questions:
- Why aren’t there any jobs?
- What’s happening in nursing?
- What can I do if I can’t get two (recent) years med-surg experience first?
- Not working as a nurse for 5 years negates my prior 15 active years, so I am not a nurse any more?
- Don’t we need more nurses?
The exploration and research that followed, lead to The Big Question!
“WHAT’S GOING ON IN NURSING & WHY DON”T NURSES KNOW?“
The nurse was inspired to help solve the problem
- Nurses are not informed
- Nurses are not involved
- Nurses are not leading
NURSES MOVING FORWARD was envisioned.
Then there was the exciting discovery that now is the Kairos for nurses! So, Nurses Moving Forward Platform and Community was created.
We launched in 2014 to leverage the natural force of Kairos, an “opportune moment in time” for Nurses to grow and flourish as entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders, inventors and business owners for the health and well being of themselves, their families, communities and humanity.
