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. The theme of this year's celebration is "Nurses: Making a Difference Every Day."
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. Nurses work in a variety of settings and in many different roles -- serving all of them with a passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to patient care and safety.
