This Nurses Week, I want to say thank you for all you do and for helping me with my doctoral research. Nearly 100 acute care nurses across the United States have already taken 15–20 minutes out of their demanding lives to participate in my doctoral research at LSUS. That means everything to me.

We are halfway to our goal of 200 responses — and every single voice matters.
This research examines toxic workplace environments, servant leadership, and organizational citizenship behavior in acute care settings. It's one of the first studies to bring these three elements together — and it exists because nurses said an enthusiastic yes.

Anonymous. IRB-approved. 15–20 minutes.

To every nurse who has ever shown up exhausted and still showed up with heart — this research and my abiding gratitude is for you.

Calling All: Acute Care Nurses in the U.S.

My mother’s oldest sister, my Aunt Meg, was an ER nurse. Long before I ever studied leadership or workplace dynamics, I understood—through her—that nursing is not just a profession, it’s a calling that demands everything and then some. Years later, during my graduate work at Cornell, my first research focus was on physician–nurse communication. Even then, I was drawn to the complexity, the pressure, and the often-unseen dynamics nurses navigate every single day.

Then life made it even more real.

I watched nurses care for my mother. I watched nurses care for my son. I witnessed moments of extraordinary compassion, skill, and humanity—often against the odds.

And now my son is in nursing school! 💜

I’m a doctoral candidate at LSUS, and my study is on acute care nurses in the United States—examining workplace environment, leadership, and work effort. This is one of the first studies to bring these elements together in this way.

Now, I need your voice.

If you are an acute care nurse in the U.S., or know someone who is, I would be incredibly grateful if you would take 15–20 minutes to complete this confidential survey. Your experience matters—not just to me, but to the future of how we understand and improve working conditions for the largest population of healthcare professionals in this country.

This is more than a dissertation. It’s a step toward change.
