The Challenge

The People Who Care for Us Often Go Unsupported

Every day, millions of healthcare workers and first responders push past their limits to serve our communities. Yet the systems meant to support them often fall short.

💔
The External Problem

Burnout & Broken Systems

Chronic understaffing, grueling 12+ hour shifts, insufficient resources, and a healthcare system that demands everything while giving too little back. Over 60% of nurses report symptoms of burnout.

😢
The Internal Problem

Exhaustion & Emotional Strain

Feeling unseen, undervalued, and emotionally drained. Healthcare workers carry the weight of life-and-death decisions while often struggling with their own mental health in silence.

⚖️
The Deeper Truth

Those Who Serve Deserve Support

It is fundamentally wrong that the people who dedicate their lives to caring for others are themselves left without adequate care, recognition, and support. This must change.

Our Mission

We Stand Behind Those Who Stand for Us

Nurses In Charge is more than a nonprofit - we are a global movement of compassion, advocacy, and action dedicated to uplifting the heroes who serve our communities every single day.

A Movement Built on Purpose

Founded on the belief that no one who serves others should ever feel alone, Nurses In Charge connects communities worldwide with the healthcare workers and first responders who need our support most.

We channel compassion into action - through fundraising, advocacy, mental health resources, and a global network that says to every nurse, every first responder, every CNA: "We see you. We value you. We stand with you."

"I feel hopeful today. I feel relieved. I want to instill public confidence that the vaccine is safe. We need to trust the science." On December 14, 2020, Sandra became the first person in the United States to receive the COVID-19 vaccine outside of clinical trials - a symbol of hope after months of frontline sacrifice.

"She went down in the line of duty. She was truly in the trenches of the front line." Dr. Lorna Breen, Medical Director of the ER at NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, died by suicide in April 2020 after treating COVID patients. She had no prior mental health history. Her death led to the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, signed into law in 2022, funding mental health programs for healthcare workers nationwide.

"I just enjoy working with people. I've just always loved nursing." Florence "SeeSee" Rigney worked as a surgical nurse at Tacoma General Hospital for over 70 years.

"Paul did what he loved to do, and that was helping people." Lt. Paul Cary, a paramedic with 30+ years of experience with the Aurora Fire Department in Colorado, volunteered to deploy to New York City during the devastating April 2020 COVID surge.
