Sponsored by the American Nurses Association (ANA), National Nurses Week runs from May 6, which is National Nurses Day, through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale. This year's theme is "Nurses: Making a Difference Every Day."
National Nurses Week highlights the diverse ways nurses contribute to health care. It also raises awareness of the continuing nursing shortage. For more information, visit the ANA's Web site at http://www.nursingworld.org.
