Get Ready for National Nurses Week 2014

National Nurses Week kicks off next Tuesday, May 6 and runs through May 12, Florence Nightingale's birthday. The theme of the 2014 celebration is Nurses: Leading the Way.

Are you still looking for ways to celebrate at your facility? Perhaps the following ideas will inspire you:
  • Request a proclamation from your town's mayor declaring May 6 as National RN Recognition Day
  • Hold a reception, complete with refreshments, to honor the nurses at your facility
  • Sponsor a coloring contest and hang the submissions throughout your building
  • Host a fundraiser, such as a silent auction, bake sale or raffle, and donate the proceeds to a local charity in your facility's name
  • Organize a candlelight vigil on National RN Recognition Day (May 6) in recognition of the 3.1 million registered nurses in America
  • Send a press release to your local newspaper announcing National Nurses Week
  • Distribute tokens of appreciation, such as hand sanitizer, stethoscopes, travel mugs, lanyards, pens, snacks or other goodies
You can also download the National Nurses Week 2014 Resource Toolkit, which includes a thank-you card, certificate of appreciation, sample press release and more, by clicking here.

The American Nurses Association is hosting a free webinar, "Transforming Health Care Through Nursing Leadership," in honor of National Nurses Week. The webinar will be held at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, May 7. To register, click here.
