“Proud professional.” “Compassionate listener.” “Take-charge attitude.” “Keen observer.” “Literal lifesaver.” “Top-notch technical skills.” “The very best among us.”
These are just a few of the ways people have described the hard working and diligent nurses in our communities.
To celebrate National Nurses Week, you can recognize a Maine-based nurse or nursing team that has impacted you or the life of a loved one and write a public thank-you note in your local newspaper.
These letters will be published in the Maine Sunday Telegram on Sunday, May 10. Special local editions will run Friday, May 8. The deadline to submit is Friday, Apr. 3.
Email [email protected] with any questions.
All submissions will be edited and formatted for publication. Select submissions will be published in print editions of your local paper. Qualifying submissions will be published on the website of your local newspaper. By submitting a letter, you agree to receive email communications from Maine Trust for Local News publications. You can unsubscribe anytime.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
