Nursing-School.org Celebrates National Nurses Week May 6-12
Nursing-School.org celebrates the nation's nurses during the 2005 nurses' appreciation week and encourages young people to consider joining the profession.
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. "Were dedicated to helping students decide if nursing is a good fit for them and connecting them to the best resources when they decide 'yes.'"
