Juliana Adams, BSN, MSN, MA is dedicated to the advancement of the nursing profession and is actively engaged in how nursing care is delivered. She is an author, speaker and film maker. In 2012 she produced the film Exposure, Reclaiming the Nobility of Nursing. This film led her to seek a greater understanding of the concept of nobility within nursing. What began as a metaphor of her own exposure to life and nursing, led her to write The Joy of Nursing: Reclaiming Our Nobility. Juliana has experienced many diverse environments; having worked in ICU’s, ER’s, Ambulatory Care, research, nursing leadership and as an entrepreneur. All contributed to her global perspective of nursing. She is an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor who marvels at how her students, similar to the many patients she has cared for, enrich her life. Juliana personally believes that if everyone supported one person that needed assistance, it would result in having individual and societal needs met on a level that would far exceed our expectations. The gift of one’s self sows the seeds for all of humanity to heal.
