The Nurses' March
Event Information
About this event
Purpose Statement:
The Nurses' March was created for nurses, by nurses and healthcare workers to come together in solidarity to advocate for our patients and ourselves. Our 200-year anniversary of nursing was to happen in May 2020. Due to COVID, we got no support or commemoration. Nurses were needed. It was postponed again in 2021. Now here we are in 2022, and nothing was planned yet again.
Honor our fellow healthcare workers that were lost during this pandemic. We are finally able to come together and memorialize our friends and colleagues that we have lost. We need a space to grieve and celebrate them.
To "Change the Face of Healthcare," we want to see nurses and healthcare works be transformed from trauma to health. In order to do that we support:
*Safe workplaces, free from violence
*Workplaces that actively address the effects of racism in our profession and healthcare as a whole.
*Safe patient ratios so we may provide quality patient care and prevent burnout
*Pay that values the service we bring to the industry
We invite The National Nurses March, Nurses Take DC, Unions, and healthcare workers to join us in the moment.
