5 Fun Facts About the National Nurses Week

The National Nurses Week starts on May 6th (or the National Nurses Day) and ends on May 12th which is the birth date of Florence Nightingale.
In the 1950’s, National Nurses Week was first observed from October 11 – 16.
It was President Nixon who proclaimed a “National Nurse Week” in 1974.
The idea of making May 6th as the “National Recognition Day for Nurses” was first proposed by a group of nurses from Mexico. The proposal was signed by President Ronald Reagan and was later expanded into a week-long celebration (May 6-12) by the American Nurses Association’s Board of Directors in 1990.
The International Nurses Day is celebrated every May 12th of each year.
