From the RNS National Chapter Holiday Party
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when rheumatology nurses gather for a holiday celebration, let us paint the picture: laughter, shared stories from the clinic, and a whole lot of inside jokes that only this community truly understands.
At our recent RNS National Chapter Christmas Party, members put a rheumatology-themed spin on a classic holiday favorite. Introducing…the RNS version of The Twelve Days of Christmas:
