Summary: | During the past 3 years, nurses, other health professionals, and essential workers have been exposed and overcome by unprecedented waves of COVID-19; unstable and severe weather conditions; migration and immigration turbulence; inequitable distribution of medical supplies and testing capacity; masking requirements; and vaccination access and mandates. There is a call for urgent actions to strengthen the current response to human suffering, pain, and grief by public health officials while managing the fragility of health departments, ministries of health, and hospitals. Yet, intrinsically, if we reach for higher ground, research new ways of patient care delivery, embark upon a career of lifelong learning, and touch someone's life while they need us, we are already contributing significantly to the betterment of society and imprinting every step forward, individually and collectively.
