The weeklong celebration kicks off with National Nurses Day on May 6 and ends May 12, celebrating the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who is widely recognized as the founder of modern nursing.
The week serves as an opportunity to increase public awareness about nurses’ roles in community health, patient advocacy and health education.
