As black and brown nurses, many of us have encountered our share of adversity. Recognizing the significance of using words of affirmation to uplift both our spirits and those of our patients, we have crafted daily affirmation cards specifically for the black and brown nurse.
 
Prioritizing ourselves, practicing self-care, and promoting a work-life balance is integral in promoting mental health wellness in the nursing profession. According to CNN and the US Census Bureau, annual suicide rates per 100,000 persons ranged from 16 for registered nurses and 21.4 for healthcare support staff between 2008 to 2019. We aim to provide awareness to the social stigma of mental health in the nursing profession and within the black community.
