Florence Nightingale is the inspiration for the 2015 Gypsy Florence Nightingale Contest.

National Nurses Week runs each year from May 6-12 — ending on iconic nurse Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Nightingale, often referred to as the mother of modern nursing, remains a huge inspiration to nurses everywhere.

This year The Gypsy Nurse is hosting the Third Annual “Gypsy Florence Nightingale” Contest, in celebration of Nurses Week and Florence Nightingale’s birthday. The prize is valued at more than $600.

“As a Travel Nurse, we have met and interacted with many nurses across the U.S. We all have at least one fellow travel nurse that has inspired us, aided us, or has represented Travel Nursing in a way that makes us want to be a better nurse,” she writes on her website.
