... Read moreSurvival stories can be a beacon of hope for many facing challenges. They remind us of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community in overcoming adversity. Whether it’s domestic violence, health issues, or personal struggles, sharing experiences helps individuals heal and find strength together. Through initiatives like #DomesticViolenceAwareness and #HealingTogether, we amplify voices that inspire others to brave their journeys. Stories of survival not only encourage those currently in difficult situations but also educate the wider public about the importance of support and understanding. As we celebrate strength in vulnerability, it's essential to foster connections that uplift and motivate, proving that indeed, “Your survival is proof of your strength.” Let us continue to support each other, share stories, and break the silence surrounding survival. Every story matters and can lead to healing and strength for others. Here's to celebrating each survivor in our lives.

How I survived nursing school
I went into nursing school expecting it to be hard but nursing school is a whole other level. Be teachable. You may be smart but everyone in there got in because their academics matched yours. Even if you’ve been a cna, even if you’ve worked in health care, even if you have made it half way through
