The nurses on staff at Blue Skies Hospice are an essential and wonderful part of the team. They are dedicated to using their education, expertise, and experience to provide loving care, tender support, and effective treatment to the Blue Skies Hospice patients. Families can be confident and comfortable that their loved ones are in caring and competent hands at Blue Skies.
It is for this reason, along with gratitude to nurses everywhere, that we take a moment to celebrate National Nurses Week. The current campaign, "Trusted to Care", gives the following information and insight:
National Nurses Week 2011 Nurses Trusted to Care
Often described as an art and a science, nursing is a profession that embraces dedicated people with varied interests, strengths and passions because of the many opportunities the profession offers. As nurses, we work in emergency rooms, school based clinics, and homeless shelters, to name a few. We have many roles – from staff nurse to educator to nurse practitioner and nurse researcher – and serve all of them with passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to patient safety.
Background
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6, also known as National Nurses Day, through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
