You were raised on a lie
Work hard, pick up the extra shifts, put the patient first, and you’ll always have a job. In 2026, hospitals are replacing veterans with algorithms and lower-cost labor. Your clinical excellence doesn't protect you—your Sovereignty does.
Being 'The Last Nurse Standing'—the one who never says no—doesn't make you indispensable. It makes you a target for exploitation. If you want to save your career, you have to stop being the 'fix' for a broken system and start being the architect of a new one.
