ANA-Maine Offers its Deepest Sympathies

Maine nurses are grieving with the victims and their families who were harmed in any way during the mass shooting in Lewiston last night. Our sympathy goes out to all those who have lost loved ones in this mass casualty.

As nurses, this may impact us differently than others. Nurses are critical members of the healthcare system, especially in moments like these. Your fearless servant hearts are so appreciated in this great time of need.

The emotional impact of such events can be overwhelming and produce a range of emotions. Please take time for your mental and physical health, seek support from colleagues or professionals if needed, and remember you are not alone.

The Maine Crisis Line is available to text or call: (888) 568-1112

May we stay safe and support each other in the days ahead.
