As part of the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife” celebration, the American Nurses Association will expand National Nurses Week, traditionally celebrated from May 6 to May 12 each year, to a month-long celebration in May to expand opportunities to elevate and celebrate nursing.
To all the nurses out there some of whom I am friends with I salute you for your service to the world. When my dad was sick I saw really how important they are. A hospital or physicians practice doesn’t run without them. Thank you for all you do to keep our communities well and healthy. In this time of COVID-19 thanks for your bravery.

Our neighbor across the street is a nurse at a hospital in the state capital so I am sure she’s been through the ringer. I wish I could find a yard sign thanking all essential workers from nurses and docs to cashiers. Spook and I wanted to make a sign from cardboard but it’s been raining here so much not even sealing it in packing tape protects it from the moisture. 😦
Nurses and docs and cashiers and stock people and truck drives are the new heroes, amongst other essential workers.

Thank you for appreciating our nurses. I had a sister who used to be a nurse in NY. She died more than a decade ago, but she was a strong pillar for the family when she was still alive.

My dad was in the hospital a lot last year before he died and I saw the work nurses and CNT”s did to help care for him. They do a lot including data collection that can go toward finding out what’s going on with someone. They are truly the backbone of any hospital or clinic.
