NurseTV and Access Nurses Launch Nurse Reality TV Show
Want to show the nation what it means to be a great nurse? Then grab a camcorder and create a video telling us why you should be the next NurseTV star!
To kick off National Nurse Week 2008, NurseTV is seeking nurses to feature in its nationally-syndicated television show about the real lives of nurses -- the intense drama and powerful experiences they encounter while working on the front lines of modern healthcare. The show is set to air this fall on more than 100 television stations across the country.
The casting call is part of a national campaign by NurseTV and Access Nurses, the exclusive staffing company partner, to change the image of nursing in the media.
So if you're a nurse who is full of passion and heart, with a story captivating enough to match your personality, we want to hear your nursing story. This first-of-its-kind competition begins with National Nurse Week on May 6. Submissions will be accepted on an on-going basis.
Enter for a chance to be on national TV:
Submit video applications at NurseTV.com by uploading a two-to-five-minute video that highlights your personality and nursing experiences.
Hospital RNs, traveling nurses and those working in alternate healthcare settings are encouraged to participate in the casting call.
For more information go to www.nursetv.com/casting_call.com starting May 6.

To do what nobody else will do, in a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through; that is to be a nurse.
