My Story

Hi, I’m Ginamarie—ER nurse, writer, and the heart behind Nurse Strong.

​

     After 20 years in emergency nursing, I’ve seen just about everything—chaos, courage, heartbreak, healing. I’ve worked double shifts on no sleep, held hands during final breaths, and laughed through tears in break rooms that never actually let you break.

​

     Nurse Strong was born from all of that.

​

     It started as scribbled notes on the back of charts—pep talks I gave myself to survive another shift. Over time, they turned into something more: affirmations, checklists, survival tips, and raw reflections that I wished someone had handed me when I first put on my scrubs.

​

     This book is my way of saying: I see you. You’re not alone. You are doing an incredible job—even when it doesn’t feel like it.

Whether you’re running a code or just running on coffee, I hope these pages remind you of your strength, your purpose, and your humanity.

You’re not just a nurse.

You are Nurse Strong.
