Annell Farris, the latest winner of the ongoing Nurse Photo Contest!

Build a snowman no matter where you live

Jonathan: Our family took this picture while I worked in Charleston,  South Carolina. We are standing on Folly Beach. We used this photo for our Christmas card last year. It was nice to encourage everyone to find the simple joys, we had no snow to make a snowman with so we got creative and made a SandMan.

Walk like a cactus

Jonathan: This photo was taken as my family and I traveled from a California travel nursing job to a South Carolina nursing job. It was taken somewhere in New Mexico: we stopped for a potty break and found this awesome cactus. We are from Georgia so this was a really cool thing to see and learn about. We gave this one the caption, “Walk like a cactus.” The family tried to blend in and look like a cactus.

Ahoy there Matey, Travel Nursing is the Life for me.

Jonathan: I travel with my family. It gives us a chance to see and experience the USA first hand by living and working in different areas. In this picture our family visits the “Pirate Show in Myrtle Beach,  South Carolina.

Yetunde: Me and one of the nurses celebrating Nurses Day 2010 in Silver Spring, Maryland.

April from Villa Rica, Georgia: “Giving meds to children in an acute inpatient psych unit“

Lori’s graduation

Jessica (LVN, Family Practice): “Event was Halloween, just clowning around. Dr. Laughie Taffy water squirting flower, the kids really enjoyed their visit as well as our wonderful geriatric patients. They always need a smile on their face.”

Claudia: “This picture was taken on the day of my graduation. A new nurse ready for the many challenges of the health world.”

This photo is from Gonaives, Haiti. I recently traveled there to train lay women and nursing students in contemporary issues in GYN/OB and basic nursing skills. This is one of my students on the last day of classes.

Yetunde: “I worked as the Director of Nursing in Silver Spring, Maryland. During Nurses Week, my staff celebrates by wearing nursing uniforms with caps… here’s a group snapshot of nursing team in May 2010. We had fun!”

Paul: Helped dig up this 4 oz gold nugget in January 2013 somewhere in Arizona. The good life of a travel nurse…

I am submitting this picture because I was very touched by a patient my own
age dying of breast cancer.  I worked at a hospice as an agency nurse and I was lucky enough to be given an award from the Chamber of Commerce and Nathan Adelson Hospice in Las Vegas for being a compassionate and caring nurse.

Liza: The only way to travel from Liberia to Guinea was by motorbike because the roads had all washed out. First motorcycle wipeout in Africa at age 60! You’re never too old to live your dreams.

Just taking the elevator up to my unit.  I am a BSN-RN at University Hospital (University of Cincinnati Medical Center) in the Neuroscience ICU. GO BEARCATS!

Here’s my photo of what I do to unwind - compete on my wonderful horse, Rio.

Corinna: This photo was taken last week in our chemotherapy room. We were sending this message to one of our cancer patients who is struggling. We wanted him to know we were thinking of him and prayers were being said for him and his family. Our job doesn’t just end after 8 hours, as we become friends and family to most of them.

Steven (Sanford, Maine): Picture is of me with my grandkids Noa and Madisen relaxing after I came home from my first day of work as a nurse at the Maine Veterans’ Home.
