BALA X North Shore Long Island Hospital: May 2022
This year we titled our theme for nurses week ‘walk in my shoes’, inspired by an incredible group of people- the staff at north shore university hospital on long island. Last year they put on an event called ‘walk in my shoes’, where senior leaders shadowed their nursing staff for a full Twelves hours.
We were humbled by the campaign and donated 60 pairs of BALAs to the participating staff this year.
BALA HQ X TBU: April 2022
Once a month we create an opportunity for TBU members to interact and connect with each other in person. This month the BALA Team invited our local Oregon TBU members to stop by our HQ office to see our creative cave, munch on pizza, and connect with one another! Thanks for stopping by Dani, Jessi, and April.
PICC PAL DAY: March 2022
TBU member Kristin brought together the day/night shifts of her PICC team in Nebraska for PICC PAL day. Think about secret Santa in March and having the opportunity to give your shift a little gift of appreciation and some BALAS ;)
Yoga in NYC: February 2022
Winter is tough and everyone needs a little TLC! Community Manager Ella invited local BALA Unit members Alison and Mary to relax, unwind, and center themselves during Yoga. The little things make a big difference!
BALA x Oregon Center For Nursing - October 2021
BALA celebrated our partnership with The Oregon Center for Nursing (OCN,) a nonprofit that facilitates research and collaboration for Oregon’s nursing workforce, with an interactive pop-up event.
