Has your nurse made a difference?
Each year, Rice sponsors a contest called "My Nurse Made the Difference" which gives our patients, residents, and their loved ones an opportunity to express their appreciation to the nurses who made a difference in their lives.
Tell us how your Rice nurse made the difference for you or your loved one. First prize is a $150 savings bond for the nurse and the person who nominated the nurse.
Nomination letters are due March 26, 2012.
