Welcome to the Helium Nursing Professionals Contest!
We’ve created a contest just for nurses at Helium. It will tap their unique knowledge and experience.
How the Nursing Contest works:
- Each contest consists of a three-week writing period. Please submit magazine-style articles that are NOT in the first person point of view, unless the title specifically asks for it.
- Participants must have one of theses badges at Helium: Certified: Registered Nurse, Certified: Specialized Nurse and Certified: Licensed Practical Nurse.
- If you’re a member and a nurse and want to participate in this contest, but don’t have one of our medical professional badges, email your About Me page URL and a state licensing website link with information needed to verify your credentials to experts@helium.com.
- Submission dates: Wednesday, August 12, at 16:00 GMT to Tuesday, September 1, at 23:59 GMT. (Get your current GMT time: Type in “current time gmt” into a Google search window.)
- Awaiting calculation dates: After the submission period, we provide one week for article rating to reach community consensus. All titles in the contest are closed to further submissions and Leapfrogs during this time. (Your article’s rank may fluctuate wildly or hardly move.)
- Winners: Winners are typically announced on Wednesday, the week after the submission period ends and prizes credited by week’s end. Read more about winner selection and contest points on the Contest Rules page.
- Completed contest: Once the contest is closed and the results announced, the titles to that contest will reopen for general writing submissions.
