WE LEAD
NURSING INNOVATION.
Healthcare needs novel, impactful, scalable and accessible solutions. SONSIEL exists to ensure nurses, nursing students and midwives are positioned not simply to experience transformation, but to lead it.
Nurses see what healthcare needs next.
SONSIEL was created to educate, empower and elevate nurses as people who discover, invent, develop and implement solutions across health and healthcare.
Nurses work in sustained proximity to patients, families, communities, workflows and health systems. That perspective creates a powerful foundation for identifying problems and developing solutions that are useful, human-centered and implementable.
Since its inception in 2019, SONSIEL has built opportunities for nurses to participate in and lead science, innovation, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Magnify. Network. Elevate.
SONSIEL exists to strengthen the role and influence of nurses as transformation agents across health and healthcare.

Our vision is a world where every nurse is inspired and equipped to transform health through science, innovation, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Proximity to problems should mean influence over solutions.
