Resources that bring us together.

Caryl Goodyear-Bruch, AACN Past-President, shared with colleagues her perspectives about how their experiences connect them as nurses.

The story

"We help people face death with dignity when it's their time. Do you know how valuable that experience is? We have been given this gift. We have this knowledge- not just clinical knowledge, but the emotional and spiritual knowledge that patients and families have given us. Knowledge that other people don't have. I am connected to other nurses because of that."
