My little ten month-old son has had a nasty cold for almost two weeks; complete with constant fevers, a cough, and a stuffy nose.  So, when a strange rash appeared a few days ago I decided to give his pediatrician’s office a call.  They were busy – as always – and promised me someone would be calling me soon.  Five hours later, the rash was getting worse and I still hadn’t heard back from the nurse.  Thankfully, I had another option.  I called Nurse On Call.  It’s a 24/7 medical help line, available through my husband’s company.  In a matter of minutes, I was able to speak to a friendly, experienced Registered Nurse about my son’s condition.  She listened patiently to my situation, answered all my questions, gave me home-treatment advice, and told me what to watch for in the future.  She also sent a fax to my son’s doctor reporting everything we’d discussed so he could be kept in the loop.  Thanks to her advice, I was able to help my son while saving the time and expense of a trip to the doctor’s office or urgent care.

I love Nurse On Call!  I use it all the time.  It’s such a great, mom-friendly service.  I’ve used it for everything from advice on my daughter’s ear ache to questions about what medicines were safe to take during pregnancy.  It’s a fantastic resource.

My husband’s company (Employers Health Network) sells Nurse On Call and other network services to businesses nationwide to help them reduce health care costs.  Nurse On Call has received such rave reviews from their members that they are now considering offering it to individuals and families as well.  EHN would like to glean a little market feedback to determine how they will proceed with this new line of service.  Since the vast majority of my readers are budget-savvy Moms (always on the lookout for simple ways to save time and money) they thought you’d be the perfect market research group.

Each reader who submits a survey will be automatically entered to win a $50 Target gift card (the winner will be drawn randomly).  As an added bonus, if your friend is chosen as the winner and she has listed your name in the referral area, you both win a $50 Target gift card!  If the winning reader does not have a referral name listed, she wins both cards.  Yep, that’s $100 just for filling out a simple survey.  Just think of the fun shopping spree you could have.   This survey was developed by my husband for his company and I can promise you there are no strings attached.  They simply want to get valuable feedback from their key market demographic – busy moms like you.

The contest will be open for two weeks, ending at midnight CST on March 4th.  The winner or winners will be announced here and contacted via email.  Good luck, everyone.  Remember, the more people you email about this post, the greater your chances of winning.  Just click the little green “share this” link below the survey, then choose the email tab in the pop-up window.  Thanks, in advance, for passing it on.
