May 10 - Survey Sunday (Mother’s Day)
Some nurses are spending this Mother’s Day separated from their children for fear of bringing the virus home. We will honor them by sharing their personal stories, while we fight for optimal PPE to protect nurses, so they can protect their families, in turn. Follow NNU Executive Director Bonnie Castillo for a special Mother's Day post.
We will also be sharing our latest survey for nurses on what’s happening in your facility.
Take the COVID-19 survey and help inform reports about and recommendations for handling the pandemic.

May 12 - Together Tuesday
Nurses will come together in a 1,000-person Zoom vigil for nurses we have lost to COVID-19. You can watch the vigil on NNU Executive Director Bonnie Castillo’s Facebook page.
