What is A Nurse Like Me?

A Nurse Like Me is a movement rooted in purpose and reflection. It is driven by a powerful question:
“Would you trust a nurse like you?”
This initiative was born out of a deep desire to elevate the standards of care. It aims to inspire nurses to pause, reflect, and recommit to what truly matters. These values include empathy, accountability, professionalism, and daily growth.
Our Vision
A world where every nurse delivers care they’d be proud to receive, grounded in compassion, accountability, and excellence.
Our Mission
To build a reflective and empowered nursing community by:
- Encouraging personal and professional growth.
- Promoting safe, patient-centered care.
- Cultivating empathy, professionalism, and accountability.
- Providing tools and training that support continuous improvement.
- Reminding every nurse: Excellence starts with Me.
Why This Matters
In every shift, nurses influence outcomes, experiences, and lives.
But amidst the pressure, burnout, and fast-paced environments, it’s easy to lose connection with the “why.”
A Nurse Like Me serves as a reminder of that why. It brings us back to the heart of what it means to be a nurse.
