Nurses are the engine of healthcare, but that power looks different at every stage of a career. It’s in the fresh perspective of a new grad who sees the world with new eyes, and it’s in the seasoned intuition of a veteran who has seen it all.

For Nurses Week 2026, ONA is celebrating The Power of Nurses by bridging the gap between our generations. We want to hear from the nurses who have been the backbone of institutions for decades and the new voices who are just starting to make their mark.

Share your story with us. What has changed in your world? What is the "superpower" that keeps you going? Whether you’ve been in practice for 40 years or 40 days, your perspective matters.Visit our form below to submit a quick video or written response to be featured during Nurses Week!

To participate, please submit:

• Your name, credentials and headshot

• A recorded or written response to the provided questions

• Your contact information (so ONA can reach out to potentially feature you more prominently!)

Selected stories may be shared on ONA’s social media, website, and in our quarterly journal.

Let’s celebrate the difference each generations makes, every shift, every patient, every day.
