Im looking to see about starting a "Nurses Night" in the Chicago area for current nurses and nursing students. I moved here a few years ago from Phoenix and they used to have a Nurses Night Out every year at the wrigley mansion. I definitely want to start something here and have some food and drinks and definitely some fun and games.
I have spoken to several companies that are willing to come together and are willing to support an event. I believe that nurses need to meet others in their industry to network and know more about our industry and meet others outside our work place.
Look forward to hear from other nurses in here and maybe we can set a date where we can have a nice get together. Summer is coming around the corner anyone interested let me know. I look forward to meeting everyone.
Not a great idea to post your email addresses on an open forum. Better to PM the OP. Also, in light of a previous thread, don't wear your scrubs to the soiree!

Chicago male nurse,In order to generate a critical mass of interest you need to get the word out.May I suggest you generate an e-flyer that describes the event as you envision it. Maybe post a target date or location. This can then be forwarded to other, posted on bulletin boards etcInclude your contact info (suggest creating a dedicated email account). Doing this will help make it more "real" and will help generate the interest.
