2011 Nursing Video Contest - A Day in the Life of a Rural Nurse

Rural nurses, show us what you've got! The Tennessee Rural Partnership is holding an online video contest via YouTube to showcase "A Day In the Life of a Rural Nurse." For this competition, you can create a nursing-related parody of your favorite viral video,  do a spoof of a TV show, capture your passion for nursing through karaoke or a standup comedy act, shoot a short documentary, or just tell us what you think it means to be a nurse. Get creative! The Rural Partnership will choose the most entertaining video, and the winners will be sponsored by The Rural Partnership to attend Johnson & Johnson's Promise of Nursing Gala in Nashville, TN in December 2011. The Rural Partnership will also submit the winning videos into the Promise of Nursing Video Challenge with a chance to win prizes.
