Have you seen the awesome new music video by Brown & Gray thanking nurses for our service? The song was created in collaboration with NursesEverywhere. The pictures were curated through social media requests and represent nurses in many areas of practice. The song promotes mask-wearing as a way to thank nurses for their efforts during the pandemic. I think you will see some school nurses you recognize in the music video!
