Happy Nurses Week...ALL

I just read that some one (probably considered a leader) feels nurses week is more to get us back to the bedside and examine what we can do better, and oooooooh, to discuss health related issues. Do we NOT do this everyday? Really?


I have seen Nurses Weeks come and go for more than 30 years...

Some places are even foolish enough to combine it and make it HOSPITAL WEEK..

Good way to recognize your nurses....

NURSES Week IS to Celebrate nurses, and all that we do ALL YEAR LONG, not for self-reflection and recriminations. We have 51 additional weeks of the year aimed at just that.


It is for embracing all that we are and can be, and, yes it for parties and gifts from those that should appreciate the love and care we provide daily, and the fact that 24/7 we are the ones at the bedside, with comfort, compassion, intelligence and life-saving decision-making. 


Theres is so much to celebrate about nursing that Maybe we NEED TWO WHOLE WEEKS...
:-)


NURSES WEEK should never be synonymous with a HOSPITAL WEEK or any other identity.
We Deserve our own week...
We Earn our own week....


ALL YEAR LONG
