NATIONAL NURSES WEEK: DAY’S IMPORTANCE AND HISTORY

 

National Nurses Week starts from May 6 and ends on May 12, which is also the birthday of Florence Nightingale (May 12, 1820 – August 13, 1910). She was english, social reformer, statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. She became well-known while taking care of the wounded soldiers during the Crimean War. Nightingale was also known as “The Lady with the Lamp” because she has the habit of making rounds in night with a lamp. Because of her devotion and faithful behaviour, this day is celebrated as National Nurses Day.

In 1974, President Nixon proclaimed a National Nurse Week. New Mexico nurses together initiated a resolution in 1981 to have May 6th declared National Recognition Day for Nurses. The American Nurses Association (ANA)Board of Directors took up the banner and promoted the proposal. In 1982, the United States Congress designated May 6th to be National Recognition Day for Nurses and President Ronald Reagan signed the proposal. The ANA Board of Directors later expanded the celebration in 1990 to a week-long celebration (May 6-12) known as National Nurses Week.
