🌍 Nurses and friends of nursing, worldwide
🤝 The Flourishing Nursing Network
People and organizations we learn from, all in one place. Follow them, share their work, and help keep the lamp on.
🤝 Meet the humans behind the movement
Find people. Discover their work. Learn together. Connect with purpose.
Connection is one of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, according to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Every person on this page comes with their own buttons, so you never have to search for them. Tap a logo to see their work.
A follow button is an invitation, not a friendship. Real connection grows when people talk, help each other, and show up, online or in person.

✝️ Nathanael’s Faith: Jesus, Our Anchor, and Our Hope
A personal faith invitation from Nathanael: Riverside Fellowship in Hammond, Oregon, is my anchor church. Its teaching points to repentance, faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection, confession of Him as Lord, and salvation as God’s gift of grace. Receiving Jesus into our hearts means personally trusting and following Him.
Riverside’s salvation teaching · Its Jesus Class
My mom, Nina Delores Smith—Momma Eagle—is a devout Jesus follower. During my visit home for our special Jesus-loving reunion, I returned to Riverside for two Sundays. I treasure that homecoming and the faith and love woven through our family’s story.
Read the full explanation: accepting Jesus, resurrection, the Rapture, Tribulation, Christ’s reign, and everlasting life → The guide distinguishes Pensacola Christian College’s published position from wider Christian interpretations and Riverside’s own salvation teaching. Read Momma Eagle’s faith and reunion feature →
Our faith reflections are shared as an invitation. People of every faith and none are welcome and deserve compassionate care.
With Momma Eagle—Nina Delores Smith—may we renew our strength in the Lord and “mount up with wings as eagles” (Isaiah 40:31, King James Version): a poetic image of hope, not a promise of literal wings.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
