NJ's First Lady Thanks Morristown Medical Nurses

The nurses donated $25K to Sandy relief. The Donation ceremony was with First Lady Mary Pat Christie at Drumthwacket.

As National Nurses' Week ends, the nurses in our communities were recognized for their generous efforts.

Nurses at Morristown Medical Center were honored throughout this week. They decided to donate $25,000 to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund rather than receive a gift for their service.

On Thursday, Morristown Medical Center nurses attended a special donation ceremony with New Jersey First Lady Mary Pat Christie at Drumthwacket, the official residence of Gov. Chris Christie.
