RN's Make a Difference in Many Lives!
Long Beach, CAlifornia -- Apr 18, 2014 -- The Village P.r.o.j.e.c.t.s recognizes that nurses who have walked the path to nursing leadership are often untapped sources of motivation, advice, encouragement and connections for aspiring and early career nurses. The Village P.r.o.j.e.c.t.s creates the environment in which these nurses can be connected to each other. The May 10, 2014 "Ten Year Anniversary Luncheon and Awards Gala" is a step in that direction.
