Asking and Advocating for What Nurses Need

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Week 1 May 1-7 -  Self-Care 
Nursing is a rewarding and challenging profession so it’s critical you have access to authentic support systems and tools. Prioritize your self-care by engaging in healthy activities that target both your
body and mind.

Week 2 May 8-14 - Recognition

Raise visibility of the critical work nurses do and foster greater understanding of the diversity of the nursing profession by honoring exemplary nurses and engaging with your community.

Week 3 May 15-21 - Professional Development

As the largest group of health care professionals in the U.S., nurses provide care across all areas of the health care system and care settings. Focus on how you can excel in your nursing career and/or help other nurses in their professional journey.

Week 4 May 22-31 - Community Engagement

Help promote nurses’ invaluable contributions by engaging with your community and educating them on what nurses do. The vital role of nurses as leaders in their organizations, on boards of directors and as elected officials at the local, state and federal levels is making a difference in improving the nation’s health.

Watch for more to come throughout the entire month May 1-31!  Happy Nurses Month!
