Nurses are on their feet for 12 hours a day, staying up all night, working holidays, missing special occasions with their families, and dealing with high-stress situations on a daily basis - all for the sake of helping patients and saving lives. Nurses are an integral part of any health care system, which is why it’s important to show them how much their dedication is appreciated.
Nurses Appreciation Week
Nurses Appreciation Week takes place during the week of May 6 - 12. This week allows people the chance to acknowledge the nurses in their lives, and for companies to acknowledge the nurses who work for them. It also provides an opportunity to thank nurses within the industry as a whole for the work they’ve done.
Nurses Appreciation Week ends on May 12, which is the birthday of the legendary Florence Nightingale. Florence Nightingale was a famous British social reformer, statistician, and founder of modern nursing. During the Crimean War, she revolutionized how the world perceived nursing through training and organizing battlefield nurses, turning it into a genuine, official profession.
