    Embrace the unexpected

    The beauty of embracing uncertainty lies in the potential for serendipitous discoveries. Each step Ronald Hickman took, whether through mentorship conversations or pursuing postgraduate education, opened doors he had not anticipated. The unexpected moments became stepping stones that shaped his career and research, demonstrating that the path to success is rarely linear. Instead, it is often a winding road filled with detours that can lead to even greater achievements—like being inducted into Sigma's International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame for his avatar-based simulation research to aid decision-making for families of ICU patients.  Connect with Sigma: Tweet us at @SigmaNursing Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn Share your A Nurse First story

    P.U.R.P.L.E.

    Witnessing a fellow caregiver succumb to the very issues she worked to treat as a psychiatric nurse was a profound wake-up call for Sheryl Garriques-Lloyd, reminding her that mental health challenges can affect anyone, even those trained to care for others. This realization reinforced her commitment to living her life by "PURPLE"—a personal acronym representing her values of Passion, Unstoppable spirit, Resilience, Perseverance, Leadership, and Excellence—and to using these principles to educate others on living mentally well.  Connect with Sigma: Tweet us at @SigmaNursing Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn Share your A Nurse First story
