Do nurses have a seasonal song in their hearts? You bet they do!
We asked if nurses had a seasonal song in their hearts?
UNA members answered: You bet!
When United Nurses of Alberta said on December 3 it was looking for members who wanted to join the winter holiday fun with a short video, recorded song, or poem about nurses and nursing on a winter seasonal theme, members and their and locals from throughout Alberta rose to the challenge.
Time may have been tight, but the submissions from all over the province were so good that the first-annual Winter Holiday Jingle Challenge was born!
