Our Once-in-a-Lifetime Honor with the Chicago Fire for Nurse Appreciation Night (With Melanie Van Sistine, Jahnik Dismuke and Hannah Kimmel)

Former pediatric nurse and two-time Best of Nursing Award winner Mel sits down with Chicago nurses Hannah Kimmel and Jahnik Dismuke to unpack Nurse.org’s Nurse Appreciation Nights—including an unforgettable MLS game where nurses were honored on the field and Jahnik joined the captains for the pregame coin toss. They share why nurse-led community matters now, how peer-nominated honorees are chosen, and the fun perks of these events (discounted tickets, custom gifts, and memories that last). 

Listen in for behind-the-scenes moments, nomination tips and a heartfelt reminder that every nurse deserves to be seen and supported!
