Nurses Week 2020

Well, here it is again. Happy Nurses Week 2020 and I’m thinking that you are probably even more overworked this year than in all your past years as a Registered Nurse.

The theme this year for National Nurses Week is Compassion, Expertise and Trust. If ever there was a need to celebrate nurses this would surely be the year.

National Nurses Day is Wednesday, May 6 and we here at HealthCareTravelers.com want you to know you are appreciated, today and every day. In fact, this year the National observance was changed from National Nurses Week to National Nurses Month and that was before all this CoVid19 happened.

Our founder is a former RN and knows what you go through every day, every week and every year. This year being a lot more profound to be working as a healthcare professional than most, we are sure. We definitely want to take this time to honor all you hard working travel nurses and RN’s out there busting your butts each and every shift.

National Nurses Week is set on the same dates each year in order to coincide with the birthday of Florence Nightingale which is March 12. She is known as the founder of modern nursing.

We all can recall nurses who have shown us compassion and inspired us along the path, have taught us innovative procedures and had an influence on our lives and the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of patients during the course of their career.

Nurses in all specialties and even graduate nurses are included in this week of what would normally be celebrations. This year may not be the year for celebration and we understand that you are all overworked during the current crisis.

But we still want you to know how much you are appreciated for your compassionate caring and for helping countless patients during your hard work each day.

Happy Nurses Week 2020 and we can only hope that all the measures put in place in the last few weeks will help us to “flatten the curve” and get us through this crisis with our health and wellbeing still intact. Be safe and be well and take care of yourself. If you don’t do this, you surely cannot keep up your immune systems in order to keep helping your patients.

We wish you the best and hopefully together we can see light at the end of the tunnel.
