Welcome to Nurse SHIFT Change Movement
Nurses Shift Change Movement – Patients Over Politics. Nurses Fighting For Patients
One day, everyone will be a patient. One day, everyone will need a nurse.
When that day comes, will healthcare be accessible? Will there be enough nurses and healthcare workers to care for you?
Right now, we are fighting to protect both patients and the healthcare profession. A strong healthcare workforce means better care, healthier communities, and a system that truly serves everyone.
Fight with nurses. Fight for patients.

About Us (S.B.A.R.?
Our Story: We are a collective of nurses, healthcare professionals, and allies dedicated to a simple but powerful idea: healthcare is a human right. The United Party of Nursing (UPoN) was founded as a grassroots movement to amplify the voices of nurses and fight for policies that put patients over politics.
What started as a small group of frontline nurses has grown into a nationwide movement, mobilizing nurses and healthcare professionals across the country to demand systemic change, uphold ethical nursing practices, and champion social justice in healthcare.
Mission & Vision: Statements outlining the commitment to uniting nurses fighting for equitable access to high quality care, and advocating for a system that prioritizes patients over politics.
Core Values: Our core leadership team is made up of dedicated nurses and advocates, and is supported by an expanding network of volunteers and partners committed to fighting for patient over politics.
