About Us
Who We Are
Between Shifts is a nursing-centered community created for professionals who live the realities of healthcare every day. We are clinical nurses, public health practitioners, nurse educators, and nursing leaders united by a shared commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care.
Our platform exists to reflect, learn, and grow together. We believe nursing is more than a role — it is a calling that blends science, skill, leadership, and humanity. Between Shifts provides a space to explore professional development, patient care experiences, system challenges, and the evolving landscape of healthcare.
Here, reflection meets purpose, and shared experiences strengthen the nursing profession as a whole.
Why a Nursing Blog?
Between Shifts is proudly run by Zambian nurses with a strong African perspective. Nursing across Africa carries a unique story — one shaped by resilience, innovation, cultural depth, and resourceful practice despite systemic challenges. Our experiences are different, yet deeply powerful.
This blog exists to affirm that nursing, even in demanding environments, remains a calling and a blessing. It is a space to encourage, uplift, and connect nurses who continue to serve with dedication and heart.
Between shifts has partnered with Digital Wealth Academy (DWA), a Zambian company to run this blog with a focus on building a community and sharing ideas on career growth, leadership, education, and emerging opportunities, while celebrating the strength and potential of African nursing professionals.
