Help Us Protect the Nurses Who Care for Us
My heart has been heavy thinking about what our nurses are carrying right now.
Nurses are burning out at alarming rates, and patients are feeling the impact. Behind every statistic is a human being who once stepped into this profession to care, to comfort, and to heal.
Chronic stress. Emotional exhaustion. Workforce shortages. These are not just professional challenges. They are straining the entire healthcare system. Burnout not only affects the nurse. It impacts patient safety, team morale, quality of care, and the long-term sustainability of healthcare itself.
A large systematic review published in JAMA Network Open found that nurse burnout is significantly associated with lower patient safety, increased infections, patient falls, medication errors, and poorer perceived quality of care across thousands of nurses worldwide.
The Oncology Nursing Society has also reported that nurse burnout continues to be a persistent obstacle to delivering high-quality care in healthcare systems.
At the same time, research published in BMC Nursing suggests that mindfulness-based and holistic interventions can help reduce stress and burnout symptoms among nurses, pointing toward the importance of nervous system regulation strategies.
The crisis is real. The consequences are measurable.
We ask nurses to give everything.
It is time we give something back.
A Research Study Rooted in Care
This research study will be conducted by Sacred Harmony Center in partnership with Dr. Shelly Rauvola at DePaul University. The study will take place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and will formally examine nurse burnout while exploring a promising non-pharmacological intervention.
The study will evaluate the effects of the Harmonic Egg®, a sound, light, and frequency-based nervous system intervention, on nurse stress levels, resilience, and overall well-being.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:
• An intervention group receiving Harmonic Egg sessions
• A control group receiving structured rest and relaxation time
All participants will receive compensation for their time, because their time and energy matter.
The Goal
My hope is to gather meaningful, data-driven evidence on whether nervous system regulation through frequency-based therapy can truly reduce burnout and support long-term resilience.
If this proves effective, it could open the door for new conversations about how we support healthcare workers nationwide.
Why This Is Personal to Me
I am personally covering whatever is not donated for this study.
I am doing this because I have lived through the consequences of medical error. I have experienced profound loss, and I know how deeply both patients and providers can be impacted when systems are overwhelmed and unsupported.
This is not about blame. It is about solutions.
To conduct this study with scientific rigor and integrity, we must raise funds to support:
• Compensation for participating nurses
• A licensed nurse to collect vitals and assist with data collection
• Research coordination and administration
• Researcher’s time to facilitate both intervention and control sessions
• Harmonic Egg session access for participants
• Data collection, analysis, and reporting
This is a grassroots, community-supported initiative. We are not backed by a large corporation. We tried to get support from the hospital and looked into grants for the past 2 years without any luck, so we are taking it to the streets and going to get it done!
We are backed by people who care.
The Impact of Your Donation
When you contribute, you are helping to:
• Support frontline nurses in measurable, meaningful ways
• Advance research on non-pharmaceutical burnout interventions
• Strengthen patient safety outcomes
• Contribute to the future of healthcare resilience
• Bring evidence-based nervous system tools into clinical conversations
This is bigger than one study.
It is about changing how we care for the caregivers and addressing the BURONOUT epidemic for EVERYONE!
If you believe nurses deserve better tools, better support, and real protection from burnout, I invite you to stand with me.
Together, we can invest in solutions that strengthen both caregivers and the patients who depend on them.
From my heart to yours, thank you for standing with our nurses.
With love and gratitude,
Gail Lynn
