What an unforgettable Nurses Week celebration! Thank YOU all for bringing so much joy, excitement, and heart to Nursepalooza. We truly had an incredible time celebrating with you. From the games and laughs to the prizes and incredible moments together, the day was all about celebrating the amazing clinicians who make a difference every single day.

And Alex & Meagan… They brought energy & fun all the way through — BUT we’re pretty sure they’ve never had such an awesome crowd before!

We kicked things off with a round of Fun Filled Feud that was all about YOU and what you might do with a surprise day off – turns out a lot of you would love a spa day. Goodness knows you deserve all one (and some sleep, too, that was #2!) Team 17 got closest to the right order of correct answers, so they won that round!

Next, you did a bit of showing and telling during our Scavenger Hunt. Lots of you had amazing items (we especially loved seeing that stethoscope!) but Kayla and her massage gun (foreshadowing a future prize!!) won that round for Team 16!

Finally, we wrapped things up with a Talent Show. We loved hearing about your drawing skills, your gardening skills, singing skills AND learning how many of you can touch your nose with your tongue, wow! Wilmina wowed us with some karate and Mea made us all smile with her glove trick, winning for Team 1 and Team 6, respectively.

But the good times didn’t stop there!!! There were still MORE awards to dole out. Patricia A went home with the Enthusiasm Award, Agatha won the Kindness Award and Yenty won the bonus Energy in the Chat Award! Wohooo!!

Huge congratulations as well to Elizabeth Rojas, winner of the Great Nurse Dream Wish Raffle! We hope you do something amazing with your wish. Ultimately, you are all winners! Each and every one of you makes the world a better place, so it was special to have a chance to celebrate you a bit with some fun and games during National Nurses Week. Then passing on the goodness and voting to donate to St. Jude’s. Hospital!
