Nurses Announcements

Published

The 2014 Fall Article Contest is over and the Top 10 Articles have been posted. Please don't forget to vote for your favorites. Many members worked hard writing their articles and they need your votes.

Now it's time for the 2015 Winter Article Contest. Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate. Get some inspiration from reading some of the past article winners.....or any of the articles for that matter. If you need more inspiration......perhaps the $150 prize awarded to the top 4 article writers will motivate you. The winning articles will be selected by the members in a poll.

Nursing is a profession that can have a lasting impact on many people. Your role as a nurse, in whatever field you are in, can make a difference in the lives of patients, families, and communities. We are looking for articles that exemplify the educational, inspirational, humorous, and positive aspects of nursing.

Articles can encompass daily work, past experience, education, study tips, technology, etc. With this contest you can write about anything. We usually have certain forums that are excluded from the contest. This time all nursing forums are open.

Articles must be submitted between January 1st - March 31st.

4 winners will be chosen with a total cash value of $600! Each winner rewarded $150!

You will help select the winners - a Top 10 poll will be available at the end of the quarter. The winners will be announced about 10-14 days later.

Am I reading correctly that topic and theme are wide open this time (within the broad topic of nursing, I mean)?

You can submit anything nursing related if it has not been published elsewhere in digital or written format. It also must meet the criteria for an article, according to the link in the first post in this thread.

Where do we look to see that we're not copying anyone else's theme that's won before?

You are welcome to send me a pm with your idea for an article and I can let you know if we've had winning articles in the past with that topic.

After the March 31st deadline, when are the winner's announced?

Probably a silly question...any way to know when it is uploaded? or will it just appear as an article?

Many thx!

Articles must be reviewed and approved by Admin before being published for public view. Sometimes the publishing is delayed a few days depending on the number of articles awaiting approval. We try to stagger the publication times as we want to give each article their time to shine near the top of the article list on the Home Page.
