New grads often experience a “trial by fire,” but your strength, your resolve, and capacity to care has already been tested. You learned to advocate for yourself and others, that self-care is not selfish, and that it is okay to rest or ask for help.

With challenges come innovation. And right now, the nursing profession is changing. You will shape its future.
