Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Region 14 Acute Care and Critical Care nurses. I want to take a moment to thank all of you for everything you do everyday to care for your patients, your colleagues, your families and friends. We all make a difference.
In thinking about this I came across some quotes from wiser people than I. I thought I would share a few. You might want to share a couple.
"When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around." Willie Nelson
“The more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for.” Norman Vincent Peale
“Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.” Gertrude Stein
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." Robert Brault
"Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude." Winnie-the Pooh

Enjoy your Day
Your Region 14 CAT Judy

Mountain to Sound Chapter is challenging all of you to help foodbanks feed our ever increasing number of people in need. Please see below. You are welcome to either join the Mountain to Sound in donating to Northwest Harvest or set up something with your local foodbank.

Pacific Northwest Nurses, your immediate action is urgently needed to support our community.

As we approach the end of the month, our local food banks will face unprecedented demand due to the suspension of SNAP benefits and federal employees not receiving paychecks. The need is critical and growing by the day.

The Mountain to Sound Chapter of AACN is calling on PNW Nurses to join forces and make a powerful, positive impact during this challenging time. We are extending our virtual food drive, which began at the symposium, and your participation is vital.

We ask you to step up and donate generously through the QR code below to NW Harvest. Every donation counts, and to amplify your contribution, our local critical care chapter will MATCH every dollar donated through Saturday, November 8, 2025.

PNW Nurses, the strength of our community depends on you. Let’s stand together, lead by example, and make sure no one goes hungry. Please donate today!
