As one of the largest employers of nurses in the nation, VA is proud to celebrate our dedicated nurses! Take a moment to thank a VA nurse. The mission of caring for Veterans is deeply personal to many of them. Some are Veterans themselves, while others are connected to Veterans as spouses, family members, or caregivers. Their commitment to serving those who have served runs deep – and it shows in everything they do.
