Look around you. Have you been inspired, encouraged or empowered by an employee or a colleague? Have you or your loved one been touched by the care and compassion of an outstanding nurse? Do you know a nurse who has gone above and beyond the call of duty? Now is your chance to acknowledge and recognize the nursing heroes in your facility or community.

Hospital News will once again salute nursing heroes through our annual National Nursing Week (May 9th to 15th) contest. We hope you will share your stories with us so that we can highlight the exceptional work that our nurses are doing and how they touch our lives.

• Full name of the nurse
• Faculty where he/she worked at the time
• Your contact information
• Your nursing hero story

Prizes

Along with having their story published, the winner will also take home:

• 1st prize: $1,000 cash
• 2nd prize: $500 cash
• 3rd prize: $300
