Sunday, May 13th, 2012


Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

NurseCore, a leader in the medical staffing and home care services industries, is helping lend a hand to the healthcare specialists and applauding nurses everywhere next week.

NurseCore, the Heart of Healthcare, is saluting its employees and the country?s 3.1 million licensed RNs from May 6-12 as part of the annual National Nurses Week celebration.

Every year, National Nurses Week focuses attention on the diverse ways America’s 3.1 million registered nurses work to save lives and improve the health of millions of individuals. This year, the American Nurses Association (ANA) has selected “Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring” as the theme.

?The millions of nurses in this country couldn?t be more deserving of an annual celebration of this magnitude,? said NurseCore President and CEO Deborah Lollar. ?National Nurses Week gives us all a great opportunity to thank these selfless caregivers for all that they do.?

Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession.

NurseCore invites nurses and caregivers all over to the country to visit NurseCore.com and the company?s Facebook page to participate in a number of National Nurses Week promotions and events all next week.

The ANA supports and encourages National Nurses Week recognition programs through state and district nurses associations, other specialty nursing organizations, educational facilities, and independent health care companies and institutions.

In honor of National Nurses Week and RN Recognition Day, registered nurses around the country are encouraged to wear the official “RN Pin.” The pin can be purchased by calling 1-800-445-0445.

Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses, who comprise the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions, state legislatures and Congress, the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of American society.

The National Parenting Center Awards The Utterly Yours? Pregnancy Pillow With Its 2012 Seal of Approval

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Great Falls, VA (PRWEB) May 03, 2012

The National Parenting Center [TNPC] announced the winners of its 2012 Seal of Approval in which the Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow was a recipient. Hundreds of products were submitted and underwent a thorough evaluation process of first-hand consumer testing over a ten week period. Reviews can be located from the TNPC home page at TNPC.com.

The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval program is an independent testing procedure conducted to judge a variety of products introduced and marketed to the parent/child consumer market. Evaluated are each product’s level of desirability, sturdiness, and other ingredients essential in the make-up of a quality product. Test results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received from the testers.

The Utterly Yours? Pregnancy Pillow promises to deliver optimal comfort with its special design. It comes in a cube shape that opens to form two triangles. When in this open position, the pillow?s two halves support the back and belly simultaneously. Eco-friendly memory foam on one half of the pillow conforms to the mother?s belly. The other half of the pillow is made of higher density foam to support the back while keeping the body positioned to one side.

One of the biggest complaints of pregnancy pillows is that they are too bulky ? taking up half the bed at night and no place to discreetly store during the day. Other issues are that they are too confining and do not offer a balanced amount of body support.

The Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow successfully addresses all of these issues and has already proven to give expectant moms a comfortable night?s sleep and reduction of back pain they had been experiencing prior to using the pillow. Images and a ?how to? video can be viewed/downloaded at http://www.utterlyyours.com/media.html.

Here’s what the The National Parenting Center had to say:

Being pregnant is such an exciting time, full of anticipation and preparation. Other aspects of pregnancy are less upbeat; they include exhaustion, fatigue and discomfort. Finding a comfortable position when doing something as simple as watching TV can be impossible for some. The Pregnancy Pillow is a support system that gives mothers in the latter half of the pregnancy some much needed assistance. Uniquely designed and shaped the Pillow has been created to support mothers-to-be when they are in downtime, like lying on the couch, or even the floor, and watching TV. Supporting both the back and the belly, testers felt a reduction of pressure and discomfort. Visually they found it appealing with its cute and trendy fabric designs. The see through packaging and the way that it folds up into a cube, was viewed as quite ingenious.

About TNPC:

The National Parenting Center was founded in July of 1989 with the intention of providing the most comprehensive and responsible parenting advice to parents everywhere. The advice provided is furnished by some of the world’s most respected authorities in the field of child rearing and development.

The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval program, created in 1990 as an adjunct to TNPC’s support services, identifies the finest products and services being marketed to the parent/child audience. From educational and entertainment products and equipment to travel destinations, the consumer oriented testing process solicits evaluations from parents and their children. This award signifies to other parents that their peers have acknowledged a product’s quality and desirability based on a wide variety of determining factors.

It is the sole intention of The National Parenting Center to advise, support and guide parents with sound, responsible advice.
