HaysMed Celebrates National Nurses Week May 6 – 12

By Alan Wamser - In HaysMed News - May 5, 2016

LogoDownload-Color(Hays, KS – May 5, 2016) — Every year, National Nurses Week focuses attention on the diverse ways America’s 3.1 million registered nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of millions of individuals. This year, the American Nurses Association (ANA) has selected “Culture of Safety: It starts with you “ as the theme for 2016. The ANA supports and encourages National Nurses Week recognition programs through the state and district nurses associations, other specialty nursing organizations, educational facilities, and independent health care companies and institutions.

Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. During this week, registered nurses at HaysMed will be honored by a breakfast on May 6 at the hospital.  There will be a reception that same day and the Lanita Smith, LPN of the year, Deb Boeken, Customer Care Representative of the year and Healing Hands Patient Care Technician of the year awards will be announced.  Notes of professionalism and thanks will be distributed throughout the week along with prize drawings.

ANA, through its state and constituent member associations, advances the nursing profession by fostering high standards of nursing practice, promoting economic and general welfare, promoting a positive and realistic view of nursing, and lobbying Congress and the regulatory agencies on health care issues affecting nurses and the public.

Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses, who comprise the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions, state legislatures, and Congress, the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of American society.
