At Wambi, we celebrate the nursing workforce 365 days of the year.

#NursingExcellence #ThankANurse

Every day, nurses across the country go above and beyond the call of duty, providing compassionate, exceptional care in the face of adversity and uncertainty. The beautiful and inspiring collection of gratitude shared each day on the Wambi recognition platform demonstrates the vital necessity of nurses to our communities.

 

This year’s National Nurses Week theme is You Make a Difference. At Wambi, we are proud to shine a light on meaningful moments and show nurses every day that they make a difference in the lives of so many individuals.

 

In honor of all nurses, we’d like to invite you to join our celebration of uplifting and recognizing the essential contributions of nurses nationwide.

In 2021, Wambi launched the annual Nurse of the Year Award to shine a light on the outstanding nurses we support at Wambi nationwide. 

 

Users of the Wambi platform are encouraged to nominate a nurse who they believe embodies one of Wambi’s core values: Gratitude, Compassion, Joy, Imagination, and Fearlessness. The purpose of the annual initiative is to promote nurse recognition, build a culture of gratitude, and inspire feelings of teamwork and belonging.

Our Partnership with BALA Footwear

We are excited to partner with BALA Footwear who makes performance footwear for healthcare professionals. Since launching in January 2021, over 50K healthcare professionals have chosen BALA Twelves for their shifts because of their fluid resistant and easy to clean upper, supportive insoles, and great design.

 

Now, two lucky Wambi users will have the opportunity to experience the joy of BALA Footwear. Because the Wambi platform reinforces that sharing gratitude is equally as important as receiving recognition, both the 2022 Nurse of the Year and the individual who sends the winning nomination will be awarded prizes from BALA!

Being a nurse requires that we fulfill many roles for the well-being of our patients. We provide the hand to hold, the shoulder to cry on, the ears to listen, and the smile behind the mask! Nursing will never just be a job, it’s a calling.
