Honoring National Nurses Week
Meet three nurses who made a difference

Every day, Rice nurses provide outstanding service to Rice Hospital patients and Rice Care Center residents. Many times these exceptional contributions go unnoticed.

Each year, Rice sponsors a contest entitled, "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. Winners are announced each May in honor of National Nurses Week.

Here are the 2011 "My Nurse Made the Difference" contest winners.
