National Women's Health Week - It's Your Time

Are you taking the necessary steps to make your health a priority?
Believe me, I know it's hard to think about your own health when you are thinking about your job, children, spouses, and what you need to pick up from the grocery store for dinner. This week is to remind you that your health is just as important, if not more, than all of those other things you have going on. A lot of times women put the needs of their families first, it's natural for us to care for everyone else and then ourselves second. In doing that, sometimes our health and well-being suffers.

We encourage you to do a couple of things that lower your possibility of certain diseases and enhance your mental and physical health. Here are some examples of what you can do, make sure you're getting enough sleep, manage your stress, be active, have regular checkups with your physician, and eat healthy.  Remember, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." If you are already doing these things, great! Keep up the good work!


Today is also National Women's Checkup Day, you can take the pledge to visit your physician for a check up at http://www.womenshealth.gov/whw/check-up-day/.
If you would just like more information on National Women's Health Week or Checkup Day you can go to http://www.womenshealth.gov/whw.

Happy Birthday Florence Nightingale!

The "Lady with the Lamp" will always be remembered for leading nurses in the care of thousands of wounded soldiers in the Crimean War.  Florence was born in Italy on May 12, 1820, though her family opposed her desire to devote her life to nursing, she did it anyway. She campaigned for sanitation and better health care for everyone. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was said that Florence reduced the death rate from 42% to 2% by making improvements in hygiene and sanitation. 

Florence Nightingale 
May 12, 1820 - August 13, 1910

Florence's most tremendous accomplishment was making nursing a respectable profession for women. Florence published over 200 books, reports and pamphlets.  To this day, her books and other writings continue to be an asset for nurses and health professionals.  She died at the age of 90 and was one of the most famous and instrumental women of the 19th century.

Today we remember the Pioneer of modern nursing and the Lady with the Lamp.
Happy Birthday, tomorrow, Florence!

National Nurses Week

Celebrated annually from May 6th - May 12th, National Nurses Week gives us the opportunity to recognize the nurses that take care of us and show our appreciation to them.

"National Nurse Week" was first observed in 1954, based on a bill introduced in Congress by Rep. Frances Payne Bolton of Ohio, an advocate for nursing and public health.  The year marked the 100th anniversary of nursing profession pioneer Florence Nightingale's mission to treat wounded soldiers during the Crimean War.  But it was not until 1974 that the White House and President Nixon proclaimed that National Nurses Week be celebrated.  We are glad that President Nixon helped declare a week to recognize all of your hard work.

If it weren't for nurses, who would be there in the middle of the night to check our vitals and make sure we are okay?  Thank you for your patience, dedication, commitment, passion, and nurture.  Whether you are a trauma nurse, cardiac nurse, CNA, LPN, or RN or in nursing school; YOU are greatly appreciated.
