National Nurses Day is celebrated annually on May 6th. We raise our hopes and commitments on this day, as well as the important role nurses play in society. This day is also the first day of National Nurses Week and is also known as National RN Recognition Day.
National Nurses Week begins May 6th and concludes on May 12th, which is Florence Nightingale's birthday (May 12, 1820 – August 13, 1910). Florence Nightingale was a celebrated English, socioscientist, statistician, and the mother of modern nursing. During the Crimean War, she became well-known for caring for the wounded soldiers. Because of her habit of making rounds at night, Nightingale was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp."
