Top Nursing Stories Of The Decade

Honoring Nurses During National Nurses Week

Posted

By Dorothy York, President and CEO of North American Precis Syndicate (NAPS)

In recognition of the contributions nurses make and the risks they take, during a time of nursing shortages, World Health Organization has designated 2020 as the Year of the Nurse.  The theme for this week, National Nurses Week, is compassion, expertise and trust.  We would like to show our special appreciation for nurses, during this COVID 19 epidemic, by helping to give them what they really want, including respect, safety, greater job satisfaction, more training, patience and realistic expectations from doctors and patients.  If you have a way to help nurses, please tell your story. 

To help our clients choose formats that are getting the best results, North American Precis Syndicate ranks the top feature news stories of the year by the highest number of placements in media outlets nationwide.  We have compiled the results to show the top feature news stories of the decade, those that have performed brilliantly, way above and beyond what is typically expected. 

The most successful stories included attractive color photos or infographics, helpful advice from experts, celebrity spokespeople, the latest statistics, results from surveys, trends, time-saving tips, money saving ideas and other helpful information.  The stories targeted people across various demographic groups and related to safe, enjoyable and prosperous experiences, protecting the health, and assets, of the readers, their friends and family members. 

We are passionate about working on the kinds of stories that help millions of people nationwide with the news that is potentially life saving or can improve the quality of their lives.
