Thank You To All Nurses!
Welcome to the 2009 National Nurses Week Celebration Site!

Nurse's make a commitment to a healthy America every day for their patients, their communities and their country and during National Nurses Week, we take a moment to say, “Thank you!”

The challenge related in this year’s theme for National Nurses Week, Building A Healthy America, can not be the job of one, but must be the collective effort of many. Together we can build a healthy America. So, where do we begin? The answer is quite simple . . .

It Begins With You!

Today’s nurse must care first for themselves to have the strength necessary to care for others. Whether you need ideas on how to fit “you time” into your busy schedule, tips on get started, or are just looking for some fresh ideas, we did the work for you and have collected some great tips, articles and opportunities.
<<You can begin here>>

In Your Words - What does nursing mean to you?

What does Building a Healthy America mean to you and how do we accomplish it – as individuals and as a collective nursing community? We have created an interactive forum where you can post your thoughts and read the thoughts of your peers.
