The Nursing Beat is dedicated to helping nurses and other frontline healthcare professionals live their best life, from navigating the changing world of health to helping you balance the responsibilities of work and home. We understand the roadblocks that can make this seem impossible—frontline healthcare professionals are often under-supported or undervalued commensurate to their contributions, often overworked and underpaid, and face increasingly difficult working conditions. We are here to connect like-minded professionals with each other and with expert resources and content to provide the support and care every frontline healthcare professional deserves. Our team recognizes the need for a better support system for nurses and advanced practice providers. This is why we created Florence Health, an online resources and social networking platform (Huddle) geared towards empowering nurses to share insights and experiences, connect, learn, collaborate, and support one another. What’s more: we want to help you take better care of each other and yourself.
