🌳☀️ Good Food. Great Company. Stronger Connections.

What better way to build community than to step outside the classroom and into the park? 🧺💙

NYU’s Men Entering Nursing (M.E.N.) and NYC Men in Nursing brought together a wonderful mix of nursing students, staff nurses, CRNAs, and faculty for a well-attended picnic at Madison Square Park. It was an afternoon of good food, laughter, catching up, sharing stories, and—perhaps most importantly—building connections across generations of nurses.

From students exploring their future in nursing to experienced nurses and CRNAs sharing their journeys, the picnic was a reminder that nursing is not only a profession—it’s a community. 🤝🏽

A huge thank you to M.E.N. co-presidents Michael Narain and Eddie Lee for organizing an event filled with great food, great energy, and even greater networking opportunities! 👏🏽

Here’s to creating spaces where students, alumni, clinicians, and faculty can connect, mentor, inspire, and support one another—beyond the classroom and throughout the nursing profession.

Recently, I took a group of undergraduate nursing students on a guided tour of the Tenement Museum in New York City. For 90 minutes, we stepped into the lives of immigrant families whose stories transformed abstract concepts into lived realities. Whether she realized it or not, our exceptional tour guide did more than help us imagine life in a crowded tenement; she quietly taught us the art of slow looking—a much-needed antidote to the hurried, smartphone-driven pace of modern life.

Learning about immigrant narratives, I recognize myself, because I, too, am an immigrant from the Philippines. The personal and shared stories we create and tell are the indelible fingerprints we leave behind. When patients share their stories and bare their souls to us, what are they asking? Is it a cry for help? An invitation to connect? A search for understanding? Perhaps it is something simpler and instructive: "I hope you are listening."

What happens when students, alumni, faculty, and practicing nurses come together outside the classroom? Community, connection, and a whole lot of inspiration.

At our recent picnic, NYU Men in Nursing brought together voices from across the profession to mingle, network, and build meaningful relationships. From sharing career journeys to exchanging advice and opportunities, the day was all about expanding social capital and strengthening the bonds that carry us forward in nursing.

At NYU Meyers College of Nursing, we believe education goes beyond lectures and clinicals. We prioritize student-centered, well-rounded learning—and that includes professional socialization, mentorship, and creating spaces where future nurses can thrive together.

Here’s to building connections that last well beyond the picnic blanket. 🧺💙

Lately, nursing has had to defend its rightful status as a profession while simultaneously responding to the social upheavals reshaping healthcare and our collective lives. It’s no surprise that many of us feel exhausted, even on our days off. And yet, perhaps because of these challenges, enrollment in nursing programs remains strong. It’s reassuring to know that so many are still drawn to the vast possibilities of the profession, eager to contribute their talents in meaningful ways. Read the essay by Fidel Lim, RN -

Presence and prescience are often quiet, easily overlooked qualities among healthcare workers. However, they shape some of the most meaningful moments in nursing—for patients and for those learning to become nurses.

Nursing without cynicism means advocating for excellence and challenging broken systems without surrendering to contempt. Realism acknowledges difficulty; cynicism assumes futility. Nursing has always been sustained not merely by skill, but also by spirit. Guarding that spirit against cynicism isn’t sentimental; it’s our affirmation that we haven’t abandoned hope.

A large cohort study of nearly 49,000 nurses found that those with the highest levels of gratitude had a 9% lower risk of dying from any cause, especially from heart disease, compared with their less grateful peers. Gratitude, it seems, is not just uplifting; it may also be lifesaving. Gratitude sharpens our awareness of why the work matters. It is a kind of internal scaffolding, helping us stay upright, purposeful, and humane. Read the article by Fidelindo Lim, RN -
