National Nurses Week, May 6-12, is a time to
recognize the incredible contributions nurses make to their
communities and to the mission of the American Red Cross.
Nursing and the Red Cross just seem to go hand-in-hand
because service is at the core of what both do.
More than 20,000 nurses and student nurses are
involved in paid and volunteer capacities
at all levels and in all lines of business throughout
the American Red Cross. These activities consist of:
- Providing direct services: e.g. local
Disaster Action Teams (DAT), Health Fairs, volunteer
in military clinics and hospitals, promoting blood
collection team, first aid stations.
- Teaching and developing courses: CPR/First
Aid, Automatic emergency Defibrillator(AED),
Disaster Health Services, Nurse Assistant Training,
Babysitting, Family Caregiving.
- Acting in management and supervisory roles:
including Chapter and Blood Services region
executives.
- Functioning in governance roles: local board
member to national Board of Governors.
 The American Red Cross is partnering with Warner Brothers
on the release of Dark Shadows starring Johnny Depp to raise
awareness about the ongoing need for blood donation and to
reward our donors with a once in a lifetime movie premiere
experience!
All presenting blood donors at participating Red
Cross blood drives from April 16th through May 8th, 2012,
can register to win a private hometown screening of Dark
Shadows for up to 50 friends. Blood donors will
also have the chance to win other Dark Shadows merchandise
including theater passes and more!
