We are launching an entirely new understanding of what’s possible for nurses. Our Saturday, November 21 keynote speaker at Chrysalis 2026 Miami is Dr. Glenn Barnes—a nurse, former U.S. Army Green Beret, wilderness medicine leader, and visionary expanding the boundaries of where nurses can go and what they can do. With more than 35 years of nursing experience and 28 years of military and civilian overseas contracting, Dr. Barnes brings extraordinary experience to an extraordin

Why circadian rhythm may be the most important sleep pattern nurses need to understand You finally get eight hours of sleep, but wake up exhausted. Or you finish a night shift, crawl into bed, and find yourself wide awake while the rest of the world is starting its day. For nurses, sleep is about more than the number of hours you can fit between shifts. It is also about when your body expects to be awake and when it is ready to rest. That timing is your circadian rhythm. What

Power Up Nursing is proud to announce our 2027 programming for hospitals and healthcare organizations that have made the protection and promotion of nurse well-being a priority. We will offer four signature programs at no charge to selected hospitals and healthcare systems.

What if your ring could give you another window into how your body responds to stress, sleep, movement, recovery, and everyday life? That’s exactly what’s new with Power Up Circular Ring 2. Power Up with Circular has introduced blood pressure measurement directly through the Circular app, giving Ring 2 users a simple way to track estimated blood pressure trends throughout the day—right from their finger.

I pray you have a wonderful and restful long weekend. I wanted to share a message I heard at church this past Sunday that really spoke to me: "Bloom where you are planted."

Why Nurses May Want to Consider Ashwagandha Could this ancient adaptogen have a place in the modern nurse’s wellness toolkit? Nurses spend their careers helping other people regulate everything from blood pressure and blood glucose to pain, anxiety and sleep. But what happens when the nurse’s own system stays stuck in overdrive? Enter ashwagandha. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an herb that has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine. Today, it is commonly

Six Signs that a Nurse Needs to STOP PRINT OUT THIS GRAPHIC REMINDER PLEASE These top six signs warn you that you need to disconnect and recharge. Nurses are experts at pushing through. But there is a point when continuing to work through exhaustion and stress is no longer courageous—it may become unsafe. A mental health day is not an indulgence. It is a deliberate pause that gives your brain and body an opportunity to recover before fatigue affects your health, judgment, or

An opportunity that you don't want to miss. Are you promoting a book or scheduling speaking engagements for 2026–2027? We Are Holding Space for You at Chrysalis 2026 Miami If you have a book you are currently promoting—or a message, workshop, or keynote you are scheduling for 2026–2027—we want to meet you at Chrysalis 2026 Miami. Power Up Nursing is pleased to offer registered authors, nurse authors, and professional speakers a complimentary author and speaker table valued at

A long shift can turn food into an afterthought. Coffee replaces breakfast, a granola bar becomes lunch, and dinner happens when the body is already running on fumes. That pattern may feel normal in nursing, but it is hard on muscle, immune function, blood sugar, mood, sleep, and recovery. Food will not erase understaffing, night shifts, emotional strain, or physical demands. But the right daily staples can make the body more resilient. The goal is not a perfect diet. The goa

Proud to Welcome Sadiant Health to Chrysalis Miami 2026 For years, Power Up Nursing deliberately avoided traditional staffing partnerships. Too often, staffing has been treated as a crisis transaction: fill the shift, get someone on the floor, move on. We believe healthcare needs something more sustainable. That is what drew us to Sadiant Health. Their approach is centered on relationships, workforce stability, and helping hospitals build stronger clinical teams, not simply f

What Hawaii Knows That the Rest of America Hasn’t Learned When Americans talk about the best healthcare in the country, attention usually turns to famous medical centers, groundbreaking technology, and billion-dollar hospital systems. Yet year after year, Hawaii rises to the top of national healthcare rankings. Its success is not built on having the largest hospitals or performing the greatest number of procedures. Hawaii has done something far more powerful: it has created c

Healthcare organizations have spent years asking a critical question: How do we better care for the people who care for everyone else? At Power Up Nursing, we believe the answer is to give healthcare professionals more than another wellness program. Give them the tools, education, and support to understand their own health before burnout, fatigue, and chronic stress take their toll. We're excited to announce that Power Up Nursing has become an authorized distributor of the Ci
