for us — and for the world we are living in.
A global, bottom-up movement connecting nurses, midwives, researchers, and communities to rethink the past, challenge the present, and shape the future of the profession — together.
Nursing has been systematically suppressed and undervalued — not by accident, but by design. Nurses understand this. And nurses have the knowledge, the proximity to people, and the power to change it.
We are not waiting for permission. We are not asking institutions to validate us. We are nurses and midwives who have decided that our thinking deserves a platform — and we are building it ourselves.
This is not a campaign with an end date. It is not an NGO looking for funding before it starts. It is a sustained intellectual and community movement — grounded in Bangladesh, reaching every country where a nurse is asking the same questions.
We develop skills, build solidarity, and dismantle systems of oppression — not with noise, but with knowledge, evidence, and collective action.
For ourselves. For the profession. For patients. For society. For the world.
Nurses and midwives are everywhere in healthcare. They are the first hands on a patient, the last voice in a room. And yet their thinking — the questions they carry, the research they do, the communities they serve — rarely gets the platform it deserves.
Reimagine Nursing & Midwifery (RNM) exists to change that. Not through declarations from the top. Not through yet another institutional campaign. But through practitioners thinking out loud — together, across borders, in their own language, on their own terms.
We cover nursing history, philosophy, present challenges, global research, education reform, and community advocacy. Every country chapter adapts the framework to its context. Every nurse who joins owns a piece of what this becomes.
Started at the bedside. Grown by practitioners. Not handed down from institutions or ministries.
We name the suppression of nursing knowledge. We reclaim the intellectual identity of the profession.
Nurses from Bangladesh to Kenya to Japan belong here equally. Every context and language matters.
Small consistent acts over grand announcements. Essays, conversations, community health. Real things.
A registered nurse from Bangladesh and PhD Student & REAL Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA. Over a decade of clinical nursing, education, and public health experience across Bangladesh and internationally.
He started RNM because he believes nurses and midwives have the evidence, the proximity to people, and the power to change health systems — and they deserve a global space to do it.
"Tonight is not me telling you what to do. It is me thinking out loud — with you."
