06 May - National Nurses Day (USA)

 


National Nurses Day is celebrated annually on May 6th in the United States. It marks the beginning of National Nurses Week, which ends on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who is considered the founder of modern nursing.

National Nurses Day is a day to recognize and appreciate the vital role that nurses play in healthcare. Nurses are at the forefront of patient care, providing compassion, expertise, and support to individuals and families during times of illness, injury, and vulnerability.

On National Nurses Day, healthcare organizations, communities, and individuals may honor nurses through various activities such as appreciation events, awards ceremonies, educational programs, and social media tributes. It's an opportunity to express gratitude for the dedication, skill, and compassion that nurses demonstrate in their work every day.

Especially in recent years, with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, National Nurses Day takes on even greater significance as a time to recognize the tireless efforts and sacrifices of nurses who have been on the front lines of caring for patients and combating the spread of the virus.
