This Nurses Week, we’re doing more than saying thank you.

Nurses are used to carrying the weight—for patients, for families, for teams.

This year, we want to try and lighten the load with a $6,000 cash prize towards your tuition or related educational debt.

With this campaign, Breeze Canna and Nurses Inspire Nurses are offering direct financial support to one Michigan-based nurse to ease the burden of tuition or debt—and to remind them they’re seen, valued, and supported.

Whether you’re nominating yourself or shouting out a teammate who deserves it all—your words matter.

This could be the moment that changes everything.
