NOVA nurses have been invited to participate in a research project conducted by the  Fitzhugh Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity of George Washington University called Moral Injury Among Nurses: Stories of Fractured Hearts & Wounded Souls. The initiative aims to help nurses, the healthcare industry, and the public understand and address moral injury among nurses in a wide range of settings.

The goal of this study is to inform nurses, the healthcare industry, and broader public about the challenges facing nurses and about the importance of system level changes to address these problems. They will do this by collecting and sharing nurses’ stories from a variety of settings. Through the narratives of moral injury that individual nurses have experienced, the project will identify major constraints on nurses that are weakening the social conscience of the profession.Nurses have the option of submitting written commentaries, audio or video recordings, or requesting that we contact them for a recorded interview. All stories will be anonymous, unless requested otherwise.
