Learn More About The Nurse Be More Foundation

Who We Are and What We Do?

  • What does it mean to be a Nurse?  To be a nurse means to be a licensed healthcare professional who provides compassionate,  patient-centered care by actively assessing, monitoring, and managing a patient's health needs, administering treatments and medications,  educating patients and their families, and advocating for their well-being, often acting as a primary point of contact within a healthcare team; essentially, it's about being there for patients during vulnerable times, offering both medical expertise and emotional support.


  • With that in mind, the specific purpose of The Nurse Be More Foundation is to empower nursing students and nurses through skill-building workshops, career development resources, and scholarships. We aim to equip nurses with the essential skills and knowledge they need to excel in their profession and make informed career decisions.  By providing practical training, mentorship, and financial support, we strive to foster a resilient and capable nursing workforce that positively impacts healthcare outcomes and patient care and to also engage in activities that are necessary, suitable, or convenient for the accomplishment of that purpose.

Why I Started the Nurse Be More Foundation

The Nurse Be More Foundation was created out of a heartfelt desire to empower and support nurses and nursing students on their journey to excellence. Nursing is not just a profession—it’s a calling that requires dedication,  resilience, and a commitment to learning and growth. Having walked this path myself, I understand the challenges of balancing  personal and professional demands, especially for those just starting their nursing careers.


As I reflected on my own experiences, I realized there was a need for a community that offers more than just encouragement—it needed to provide tangible resources and opportunities. That’s why the foundation focuses not only on mentoring and motivational support but also on addressing the real-world needs of nursing students, such as scholarships for classes, books, laptops, tutoring, and access to critical resources.


I want every nursing student to know they are not alone on their journey. Whether they’re struggling with the cost of education, looking for guidance in their studies, or seeking mentorship to navigate their career, Nurse Be More is here to help. By providing scholarships and other resources, the foundation aims to break down barriers to success, ensuring that financial constraints or lack of access to technology never hinder the dreams of aspiring nurses.


Mentorship is also a cornerstone of our mission. I believe that no one achieves greatness alone, and my goal is to connect nursing students and nurses with experienced professionals who can guide, inspire, and support them. Whether it’s advice on managing coursework, preparing for clinicals, or navigating the first years of practice, the foundation strives to create a network of resources and relationships that foster success.


Ultimately, the Nurse Be More Foundation is my way of giving back to a profession and a community that has given me so much. It’s about ensuring that every aspiring nurse and nursing student has the tools, support, and encouragement they need to thrive. Together, we can create a future where nurses and nursing students are empowered to not only care for others but to also be more—for themselves, their families, and their communities.
