We want to share your stories

Now is the time to share the nursing COVID-19 response story with the world.

Help us tell this story by sharing yours. We are collecting short videos and pictures with captions from our alumni around the globe. Tell your end of shift story. Tell your research story.  This is not about any one school or provider, but rather about what our global family of nurses is doing in this pandemic. Thank you for considering sharing difficult and powerful emotions and experiences.

End of Shift: Many of you are taking care of COVID-19 patients in the hospitals and other settings. Record a short video of yourself after a shift or send us a picture that captures your work: anything and everything can be covered, from the emotional experience, to the clinical experience, to how you and your colleagues are handling PPE, and beyond. (Obviously, no revelation of personal identifying patient information, please).

Potential for Impact: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated new research endeavors. What are you studying? How will it advance the science? What is its potential for impact? Who are your collaborators? How did your time at YSN prepare you for this effort? 

If your research is not COVID-19-related, but you would like to submit a video or picture, we welcome, those, too. Now is the time to share the wonderful work being done by the nursing community.

These recordings and images serve to honor and document your work, and the work of your colleagues. And as a proven stress reliever, we hope the shared storytelling helps you on a personal level, too.
