National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale's birthday. These permanent dates enhance planning and position National Nurses Week as an established recognition event. As of 1998, May 8 was designated as National Student Nurses Day, to be celebrated annually. And as of 2003, National School Nurse Day is celebrated on the Wednesday within National Nurses Week (May 6-12) each year.
The nursing profession has been supported and promoted by the American Nurses Association (ANA) since 1896. Each of ANA's state and territorial nurses associations promotes the nursing profession at the state and regional levels. Each conducts celebrations on these dates to recognize the contributions that nurses and nursing make to the community. The ANA supports and encourages National Nurses Week recognition programs through the state and district nurses associations, other specialty nursing organizations, educational facilities, and independent health care companies and institutions.
I'm looking forward to getting that free cinnabon.
That sounds good to me...I got a dime-store Hawaiin Lei with a small piece of a Subway Sandwich...
Told my boss that if I wanted Subway, I would go get my own $5 Foot Long...
Nursing Management decided to "monitor" the food so that the Nurses wouldn't "take too much"...
The doors to the food room were shut after we left...I told Management they better lock the doors!
Gee Thanks Employer...Don't knock yourself out...
Guess I figured out where my Raise went...
