Michigan Nurses For Life began independently in the hearts of two nurses in the Metro Detroit area in the fall of 1995. One was a LPN; the other was a RN.

Both called the Educational Center For Life in Oakland County to see if there was such a group already in existence. Both were aware there was a National Association of Prolife Nurses, but wanted to be involved in something local. The answer was “no”, but they were given each other's phone number.

After that meeting and a great deal of work, which included developing the purpose, structure, marketing plan, and activities for the organization, MNFL emerged as a vibrant organization.

After a number of phone conversations, the two planned to meet one rainy fall evening in 1995, at a local restaurant. Another nurse, who was a member of a local prolife nursing group that dissolved in the late 1980's, joined them.

Michigan Nurses for Life has a membership of over 100 health care professionals. Each year an educational conference is held and a certificate of attendance is offered.

In Michigan, a volunteer nurse, who is not working, and does not want to continue the expense of renewing her nursing license, can obtain a special nurse volunteer license at no charge and can volunteer as a medical professional. She DOES have to get CEU credits every two years, but not as many as for a full license.

All you Facebook Folks----the National Association of Pro-Life Nurses now has a Facebook site. Please check it out, become a fan and let the light for Life shine on Facebook!

Dear Colleagues,

In 1776, Thomas Paine (think back to your classes on American history) wrote the following, “These are the times that try men’s souls.”

The words were written many, many years ago but they certainly ring true today. The past week has been marked by violence, sorrow and finger pointing at who said or did what, but they have not provided remedies for what has and is happening.

We must acknowledge that violence against another person is simply wrong and MUST NOT CONTINUE.

Whether it is violence from our mouths, from our spirit, at an abortion clinic, or from the end of a gun, it is time to acknowledge that our society will not prosper until we stop trying to solve our problems with violence.

I do not have any words of wisdom or solutions to what seems like an effort to justify killing people, young or old. I do know that I have some very young children in my family, and I do not want to leave the solutions to them. They should not have to bear the burden of fixing what my generation has broken—as they say in antique shops, “you broke it, you bought it.”

I do know that the solutions start in our homes, with friends, with strangers, even with those who disagree with us. It starts with the simple notion that human life be recognized from the very beginning as special and worthy of our protection. It continues when we do not call names, point fingers of disrespect at others and when we recognize that someone needs support and help with emotional problems.

All human life is precious. All human life deserves protection. All human life deserves respect. Providing these things begins with me, and you, and everyone who seeks a more compassionate, safer, and saner world. And we need to do it now!

Love Life!

Diane
