NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nurses are the foundation of the U.S. healthcare system — yet today, more than 40% of them plan to leave the profession, citing burnout, mental health strain, and ongoing staffing shortages. As this crisis deepens, the need for real solutions has never been more urgent.

That's why Mediaplanet is proud to launch the "Empowering Our Nurses" campaign, an initiative designed to highlight the tools, innovations, and support systems that can help safeguard both current and future nurses, while also providing hospitals with the strategies they need to retain and protect their staff.

The campaign spotlights critical topics such as mental health support, retention strategies, wellness platforms, career development pathways, and financial protection. By combining expert insights with first-hand experiences, it underscores the importance of creating environments where nurses feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive in their careers.

The print component of 'Empowering Our Nurses' is distributed in today's edition of USA Today. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.
