Trust is the foundation of care, and nurses are the most trusted profession in the U.S. This #NursesWeek, we know that profit-driven technologies & tools will never replace the clinical expertise and human dignity of in-person nursing care. That’s the #PowerofNurses 💪 https://news.gallup.com/poll/700736/nurses-continue-lead-honesty-ethics-ratings.aspx?fbclid=IwY2xjawRq7_9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81MTQ3NzE1NjkyMjgwNjEAAR4W9h7TsosvxMRIBYc2tLPnZ-Cd2mYALkJVN17faTwP9RkjYClngn5QL1fPHg_aem_nTYGTpi3rq4IlyJAbWCD6w
