CELEBRATING NATIONAL NURSES WEEK
Nurses Week is an important opportunity for communities to recognize the contributions that nurses make in a variety of roles and both healthcare and non-healthcare settings.
The idea of Nurses Week began in the early 1950s but wasn’t formally celebrated until the mid-1970s. The American Nurses Association designated May 6-12 to be National Nurses Week in the 1990s, highlighting Florence Nightingale’s birthday of May 12, 1820. Florence is often referred to as the founder of modern nursing, laying the foundation of professional nursing using statistics and writing to share her work, outcomes and new knowledge. Her birthday is also commemorated as International Nurses Day.
