Happy Nurses Week 2011
Happy Nurses Week to all of my nursing colleagues on this website.
In case you are not familiar with National Nurses Week, here is some information:
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.
Please be aware that starting today and through next week, nurses will be celebrating this special week. Hoping all patients will be patient as their nurses do a little celebrating this week!
