National Nurses' Week!


May 6th marks this years National Nurses' Week! The International Council of Nurses has been celebrating this awesome week since 1965. The week was dedicated to Florence Nightingale, the women who is considered to be the founder of modern nursing. But did you know that the National Nurses' Week was originally a day, celebrated on Nightingale's birthday? That's right, it wasn't until 1990 that the holiday was expanded to a week.

As well as it should have been! Nurses work day in and day out to make sure that we are healthy. In order to show your appreciation, there are many things you can do. You can send them a thank you card, give out discounts if you own a business or simply let them know how they have changed your life for the better.
