NurseCore Celebrates National Nurses Week

Sunday, May 13th, 2012


Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

NurseCore, a leader in the medical staffing and home care services industries, is helping lend a hand to the healthcare specialists and applauding nurses everywhere next week.

NurseCore, the Heart of Healthcare, is saluting its employees and the country?s 3.1 million licensed RNs from May 6-12 as part of the annual National Nurses Week celebration.

Every year, National Nurses Week focuses attention on the diverse ways America’s 3.1 million registered nurses work to save lives and improve the health of millions of individuals. This year, the American Nurses Association (ANA) has selected “Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring” as the theme.

?The millions of nurses in this country couldn?t be more deserving of an annual celebration of this magnitude,? said NurseCore President and CEO Deborah Lollar. ?National Nurses Week gives us all a great opportunity to thank these selfless caregivers for all that they do.?

Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession.

NurseCore invites nurses and caregivers all over to the country to visit NurseCore.com and the company?s Facebook page to participate in a number of National Nurses Week promotions and events all next week.

The ANA supports and encourages National Nurses Week recognition programs through state and district nurses associations, other specialty nursing organizations, educational facilities, and independent health care companies and institutions.

In honor of National Nurses Week and RN Recognition Day, registered nurses around the country are encouraged to wear the official “RN Pin.” The pin can be purchased by calling 1-800-445-0445.

Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses, who comprise the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions, state legislatures and Congress, the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of American society.

Nursing-School.org Celebrates National Nurses Week May 6-12

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 6, 2005

Each month, more than 85,000 people come to Nursing-School.org to learn more about beginning a career in nursing. This week Nursing-School.org offers not only information to these prospective nurses, but also thanks and appreciation. May 6 marks the beginning of National Nurses Week in the United States. The week celebrates the work of America’s 2.7 million registered nurses to save lives and to maintain the health of millions of individuals.

Joining in the celebration are the creators of Nursing-School.org, an educational website featuring nursing school listings, nursing degree programs, medical field information, and career outlook for prospective and continuing education nurses.

“Nurses: Many Roles, One Profession” is the theme for 2005. National Nurses Week opens on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and is supported heavily by the American Nurses Association (ANA), in conjunction with its Constituent State Nurses Associations. The week ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. During mid-celebration, on May 8, National Student Nurses Day is commemorated.

“It’s a perfect time to encourage student nurses you know,” says Emily Ostendorf, site manager for Nursing-School.org. “Take the time on May 8th to let young men and women entering the nursing field that you appreciate and admire the contribution they’re making to society.”

Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses, the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions, state legislatures, and Congress, the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of American society.

“With a nursing shortage still impacting the country, National Nurses Week is also a great time to introduce young people to the possibility of a medical career,” says Ostendorf, of Nursing Schools. “We’re dedicated to helping students decide if nursing is a good fit for them and connecting them to the best resources when they decide ‘yes.'”
