Article Contest: What is Your Nurse Hero Story?

Much has been made and said about heroes in the past weeks. In the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more true than ever before that heroes come in all shapes, sizes, and professions. Whether it’s the people stocking the shelves at your favorite grocery store, the hard-working food delivery folks keeping America fed and keeping restaurants alive, or the always present nurses who are risking their lives more than ever before to keep people alive; heroes are everywhere.

In honor of the hard work of nurses, we are having a rather unique article contest. We want your story about your inspiration in becoming a nurse. Your impactful story about your inspiration could make you a winner of one of our prizes!

The top 5 winners will each receive an Eko CORE Digital Stethoscope Attachment($199 value)

Stuck for an idea? Here are a few suggestions:

• Who in your nursing profession has been a hero to you?
• What is your definition of a nurse hero?
• Was there a hero in your life which prompted you to become a nurse?
• What inspired you to become a nurse?
• When did you know that you wanted to be a nurse?

Who Can Enter?

The contest is open to all – even if you’re not an experienced writer! Whether you’re a nurse or a student, we want to hear your story. Everyone has a nurse hero story to share, what’s yours?!?
