"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.
