Resuscitating Nursing

You didn't become a nurse to play politics.
But politics is playing you-and your patients.
From unsafe staffing to collapsing autonomy, nurses everywhere are watching the profession they love drown in red tape, corporate greed, and performative leadership. The system is broken. If nurses don't fight back, it will only get worse.
Resuscitating Nursing is a call to action and a step-by-step roadmap for nurses ready to lead a professional revival. Whether you're a bedside nurse watching care collapse, a leader trapped between ethics and administration, or an educator preparing new grads for a system rigged against them, this book is your lifeline.

Drawing on hard-won lessons from real-world political battles, nurse-turned-activist Ashley Grogg delivers a no-fluff, deeply practical guide grounded in moral clarity and ethical courage. This isn't theory. It's a field-tested approach to tackling the bureaucracy, mobilizing allies, and protecting your license while taking a stand.

In this tactical guide, you'll learn how to:

• Identify and expose the root of a problem
• Mobilize support without burning out
• Negotiate without compromise
• Build infrastructure that sustains real change
