Trailblazing Nurses Nexus

All around us there is a blossoming union, which emanates from a deep embrace; a partnership of key forces, giving rise to a seed called new possibilities. These key forces are the thirst for knowledge, human creativity, and the compassion of that heart seeking to relieve the sick of pain and restore him to health. Technology has come, and is still on its way; because all we've seen is but a tip of the iceberg. It has come and it has come to stay. I like to think of Technology as the field of study where scientific knowledge is applied to create solutions to real or perceived human problems. Nursing is a care centered branch of health care.

Do you wake up each morning to see, and hear about new exploits around the world, and wonder who the masterminds are? Have you ever wondered how these important and useful developments in the various fields of life came to be?

They do seemingly impossible things, take huge risks, and create new things; showing others that it is possible to do the same.  Trailblazers have excellent qualities including: co...

As we embark on the new year, it is awesome that you have set personal development and career goals. This is day three and you may have not even started and that is okay. It all depends on your timeline and the measures you've put in place.  While your initial motivation is a powerful force, it's crucial to recognise that discipline is the driving force behind every goal accomplishment. It's natural to feel a surge of enthusiasm and motivation at the start, but as time progresses, you may not always be motivated and you may not witness instant outcomes. This is where discipline becomes your anchor. Be patient with the process, and periodically reassess your plan. If necessary, tweak your strategies, and even when you realise you're doing everything right, keep doing what you're doing. You're definitely progressing and you may not feel like it.  Don't be disheartened if you don't meet a set deadline. Don't be too hard on yourself if the progress is sl...

   We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new platform dedicated to celebrating and spotlighting exceptional nurses from around the world. The Trailblazing Nurses Nexus is a first-of-its-kind initiative that aims to recognise the outstanding achievements of nurses and inspire the next generation to follow in their footsteps.

Also, the community had it first spotlight; celebrating top 10 most impactful organisations and exceptional Nurses across diverse fields in Nursing, in celebration of the annual International Nurses week. Nursing is a noble profession that plays a critical role in healthcare delivery.
