Welcome to Nurse SHIFT Change
Nurses SHIFT Change – Grounded in Humanity. Guided by Ethics. Driven by Science. Committed to Social Justice.
2025 marks the 75th anniversary of our code of ethics. We MUST report for duty.
The Nurses Shift Change is a national call to action uniting nurses to reclaim the soul of the profession through advocacy, humanity, and collective power. Rooted in the principles of Humanity, Ethics, Science, and Social Justice (HESS), we mobilize nurses to lead beyond the bedside, confront systemic injustice, and shape a future where equity and compassion guide healthcare for all. Through initiatives like the Report for Duty Rally, we activate the voice of nursing to protect our communities, uplift our colleagues, and demand transformative change in health and society.
Nurses SHIFT Change: We Are the Shift. We Are the Change.

Nurses SHIFT Change: We Are the Shift. We Are the Change.
Why We Rally (Key Issues)
Main Pillar: Ensuring Access to High-Quality Healthcare
Access to Care
Expand affordable, high-quality care. Protect and strengthen Medicaid & Medicare
Strengthen Primary Care
Invest in prevention, community health, and health literacy.
Protect the Healthcare Workforce
Ensure safe ratios, workplace protections, mental health support, and workforce that reflects the communities served.
Healthy Environment
A healthy planet is essential for healthy people—nurses know that climate change, pollution, and environmental injustice directly impact the communities we serve, making environmental health a critical part of our call to care.
