Why This Letter, Why Now?

This is the 3rd of the series, An Epistolary for Nurses, written very personally to you, the expert nurses navigating identity, leadership, and reinvention.

This letter is from me to you. It is personal. It is your invitation to pause and listen inward before planning your own bold move.

You May Ask, What Does Bold Look Like for Me?

You see the posts. The updates. The announcements.

• Another nurse left the hospital and stepped into a leadership role.

• Another colleague got a job away from the bedside, or started a company!

• Another nursing-school classmate started a consulting business or got published or earned a new credential.

You are happy for them. You really are.

But still… you pause.

You look around and see leadership roles filled by people who don’t think like you. Don’t lead like you. Don’t care like you.

Equipment policies break when you hire globally

• Security protocols that prevent compliance gaps

• Return processes that actually work remotely

This free equipment provisioning policy will enable you to adjust to any state or country you hire from instead of producing a new policy every time. That means less complexity and more time for greater priorities.
