Nurses week has come and gone, but the work never ends. Many times this work is thankless, but without nurses, doctor's offices would most likely close and hospitals would come screeching to a halt. Nurses are the backbone and the skin of the health care industry, they hold it up and keep it all together. 

JOY has teamed up with WILLCARE Home Health Care to celebrate our nurses and give one lucky winner a day off to do something for themselves.

Congratulations to Susan Brooks who was nominated by her mother Joan. Here is an excerpt of her nomination:

I nominate my daughter Susan Brooks. She is a nurse at the new Gates Hospital in Buffalo. She loves caring for people and she has so much compassion for others. She has dedicated her life to her job but also is a busy mom of three boys ages 13, 11, and 9 . She is so very involved with their sports and school work I don't know when she has time to sleep.  She takes good care of herself but so many things can go wrong and she never ever complains. I would love to see her have a nice relaxing day at the spa. Thank you, Joan.

Thank you to Susan for all of the hard work that you do day in and day out. Now, it is time to take a day for yourself and relax at the Silver Essence Floating Spa and enjoy dinner at My Tomatoe Pie.
