We would love your help in sharing information about this contest with your networks.

To participate, nursing students need to:

  2. Like our National Nursing Students’ Week Instagram post (see attached for what it looks like)
  3. Comment on the post with the nursing designation they are working towards and the location of their educational institution in BC

The contest runs from November 20-December 10, 2022. Two winners will be randomly selected after the closing date to win both a $250 gift card and free NNPBC membership for 2023!
