Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring

Often described as an art and a science, nursing is a profession that embraces dedicated people with varied interests, strengths and passions because of the many opportunities the profession offers. As nurses, we work in emergency rooms, school based clinics, and homeless shelters, to name a few. We have many roles – from staff nurse to educator to nurse practitioner and nurse researcher – and serve all of them with passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to patient safety.

Background 
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6, also known as National Nurses Day, through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.

We look for recipes that meet the balance of good taste and good health.”

We are looking forward to improving our services while offering better nutrition and a healthy balance of foods to our residents.

Elk Bugling-What a sound!

Posted on: November 29th, 2011 by sho No Comments

There is something special that happens each Fall in Rocky Mountain National Park. Residents enjoyed this yearly event this past month.

From mid-September to late October in the Denver foothills and central mountains, it is elk mating season. A bull elk “bugles” to gather cows and establish his readiness to breed. The bull’s bugle also tells other elk to stay away from his herd.
