Highlights from Our First Neonatal Nurses Week
Last week neonatal nurses from all over the world celebrated their profession along with NANN! Throughout the week we celebrated on social, walked down memory lane, shared special conference discounts, and enjoyed the new NANN video that celebrates the neonatal nursing profession. To each of you, we hope you felt honored and valued for the amazing, life-changing work you do every day. Thank you and once more, happy Neonatal Nurses Week!
