Powerful Education, Tools & Coaching Services for Nurses Who Are Passionate about Solving Health Problems Holistically
What Is New Directions for Nurses?
New Directions for Nurses is the primary project of Awakening to Grace, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Lawrence, KS, USA.
We believe that when nurses are fully supported to actualize their potential, it will change the world!
Many nurses are under siege in parts of our current healthcare system.
Racism, bullying, violence in the workplace, unacceptable staff-to-patient ratios, and high complexity of patient needs
... are primary contributors to the national average for turnover rates being as high as 40%, depending on geographic location and nursing specialty.
These factors contribute to increased risks for illness and injury on the job and a suicide rate among nurses that is significantly higher than the national average.
Let's face the facts: These problems existed before the COVID19 pandemic and they are even more serious now.
To be the change we want to see in the world, we need meaningful continuing education that helps us practice safely, holistically, and to the full extent of our license and vision... and we need business education that's fully aligned with our professional values, ethics, and power.
Together We Rise!
Powerful change requires working together.
Do you support our mission to support nurses who are passionate about solving health problems safely and holistically?
If so, we invite you to help us teach nurses how to appreciate the value of their ideas and learn the best paths to develop them, rather than giving away their ideas for others’ profit.
There has never been a better time for us to be visible, vocal, and lift each other up!
