Thank you to all who participated and helped celebrate 2022 Nurses Week, May 9-13.

Nurses Week is always the week of May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. After two years of minimal celebration we were happy to be able to meet in person to share good food and laughter. On Monday and Friday the hot dog cart delivered delicious dogs to both day and night shift nursing staff. On Tuesday and Thursday the kitchen provided breakfast for off-going night shift and oncoming day shift nurses. Wednesday was the chili cook-off, the third year we’ve done one for Nurses Week. There were 8 delicious entries and all voting was anonymous. First place had 17 votes, second place had seven votes, third and fourth place tied with six votes each.

Congratulations to Terry, Goedecke, RN, for winning the 2022 Nurses Week Chili Cook-off.

There were also nursing pins given out, designed by Jane Blalock, one of our stellar Inpatient nurses.

It was a fun week of celebrating the unique work nurses do all over the world! We had a great week!
