Donate to Nurses Float: A small group of nurses are seeking donations to have a float in honor of all nurses in the 2013 Rose Parade. The impetus for this is a nurse, Sally Bixby, who will be president of the Tournament of Roses/Rose Parade that year. This is a unique and historic opportunity to put the profession of nursing on an international center stage. Your financial donations would be appreciate.
