May
6 – 12 is both National Hospitals Week and National Nurses Week. Hospitals
around the nation will be celebrating the hard work of their dedicated staff
and the role they play in keeping our communities healthy. Both events coincide
each year with Florence Nightingale's birthday, May 12. The theme of National
Hospital Week 2018, "Caring Is Our Calling," highlights the
commitment of every member of the hospital team, from physicians and nurses to
food service workers and volunteers. Learn about how you can celebrate National
Hospital Week on the American
Hospital Association website and National Nurses Week on the American
Organization of Nurse Executives website.
