National Nurses Week 2011
Greetings! National Nurses Week is celebrated each year beginning on May 6th and ending on May 12th, Florence Nightingale's birthday. The purpose of the week is to recognize the contributions of the nation’s registered nurses and to educate the public about the role we play in meeting the diverse health care needs of the American people.
This year, the American Nurses Association (ANA), with its constituent and state nurses associations, salute the nation’s 3.1 million nurses with the theme Nurses Trusted to Care.
The theme reflects an enduring belief in an ever-changing world: the public trusts us. For the 11th year, nurses were voted the most trusted profession in Gallup's annual survey that ranks professions for their honesty and ethics.
That trust takes on added significance now. As our nation undertakes transformative health care reform, we have unprecedented opportunities to optimize our practice, drive change and shape the health care system of the future. Our knowledge and expertise are in demand, and how we rise to meet today’s challenges will influence how our health care system looks in 10 years.
Put more simply, the nursing profession has an opportunity to apply its unique talents and knowledge to make the changes nurses know are best for patients. In clinical settings, communities and at policy-making tables, we need to raise our voices and be heard. The good news is that every nurse is a leader!
Our country is calling on us to embrace our role as leaders. This year, during National Nurses Week, ANA is focusing a spotlight on leadership. I hope that you will join us for a webinar about leadership on May 10 and that you will cast your vote in our “I am a nurse, I am a leader” video contest.
As I travel around the country sharing ANA’s message, I am awed and inspired by what nurses do every day. Your dedication, innovation and commitment are remarkable, and you demonstrate every day why nurses continue to earn the public’s trust. Thank you for all you do. Thank you for supporting your professional association. Together, we can take the lead on shaping the health care system of the future.
Sincerely,
Karen A. Daley, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN
P.S. One of the simplest ways to build our leadership capacity as a profession is to share this message with a nurse colleague.
