National Nurses Week, which is held May 6-12 every year, salutes the nearly 3.1 million registered nurses nationwide for their dedication, commitment, and tireless efforts. The theme selected by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and Sturdy Memorial Hospital is “Culture of Safety: It Starts with You.” In recognition of the event, Sturdy Memorial Hospital is preparing to celebrate with awards, gifts, and a dinner in honor of those who make a career of caring for others.
The annual Florence Nightingale Award, a peer-recognition honor given to one nurse per patient care area, is a highlight of the week’s events scheduled at Sturdy Memorial. Nurses are selected by their co-workers for excellence in clinical competence, critical thinking, compassion, teamwork, courteous and friendly behavior, reliability, dependability, and performance above and beyond normal expectations.
“During National Nurses Week, Sturdy Memorial Hospital wants to take a moment to honor the nursing staff for their contributions to safety and collaboration in healthcare. I personally would like to extend a special thanks to you, our nurses, as you continue to provide the highest level of quality care to our patients,” said Marita Prater, Vice President for Patient Services/CNO at Sturdy. “You deserve special recognition for your efforts in delivering compassionate care, while encompassing the principles of safe and effective care as well as ethical practice in your profession.”
