About Fifth Window
Our Team
As avid practitioners and proponents of well-being, the Fifth Window team is united and fueled by our goal to help bring joy and social support to healthcare professionals around the globe.
Our nurse-led team consists of experts in innovation, academia, mental health, and nurse leadership, and is well-positioned to accelerate the nursing wellness movement.
Why We Exist
The healthcare industry is emotionally demanding, making social support crucial for nurses to reduce burnout and boost their psychosocial well-being.
We exist to support nurses who entered the profession to make a difference but now feel overwhelmed by its demands and pressures.
Fifth Window simplifies joining a supportive nursing community that enhances your happiness, health, and creativity while providing a safe space. When you nurse your joy, your patients and colleagues benefit too.
Our Story
Fifth Window’s story began in May 2020 when over 500 nurses joined together to participate in the NurseHack4Health COVID-19 Virtual Hackathon. Passionate about creating solutions for nursing and clinician wellness, the former team (known as WellNurse at the time) won the Resiliency & Self-Care Challenge during the Hackathon.
Today, Fifth Window focuses its mission towards helping clinicians everywhere to nurse their joy.
