Happy Nurses Week for all our caring and ever dedicated nurses!
This year’s theme is “Delivering Quality and Innovation in Patient Care.”
Often described as an art and a science, nursing is a profession that embraces dedicated people with varied interests, strengths and passions because of the many opportunities the profession offers. As nurses, we work in emergency rooms, school based clinics, and homeless shelters, to name a few. We have many roles – from staff nurse to educator to nurse practitioner and nurse researcher – and serve all of them with passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to patient safety.
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6, also known as National Nurses Day, through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
HAPPY NURSES WEEK! 
Events include: National RN Recognition Day on May 6; National Student Nurses Day on May 8, and International Nurse Day on May 12, celebrated annually by the International Council of Nurses.
