Nurse suicide is preventable.

  • Nurses care for others in their most vulnerable moments, yet many struggle to access the same support for themselves.

  • Suicide risk among nurses is higher than in the general population, and it has remained elevated for years.

  • Work stress, mental health challenges, physical strain, and substance use often overlap and build over time.

  • Many nurses who die by suicide have already interacted with the healthcare system.

  • The problem is not just awareness. It is whether support is accessible, timely, and effective.

  • Nurse suicide requires early recognition, direct conversations, and systems that make it safe and realistic for nurses to get help.
