In 1993, the American Nurses Association declared May 6-12 as the national week to celebrate and elevate the nursing profession. Each year, the celebration ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. She was a British nurse, social reformer and statistician best known as the founder of modern nursing. Her efforts to reform healthcare greatly influenced the quality of care in the 19 and 20 centuries. National Nurses Week is a time for everyone to recognize the vast contributions and positive impact made by nurses.
A special thanks to our Witham nurses for giving of themselves. Our nurses are the frontline caregivers that make a difference each time they interact with a patient and their family. Not just anyone can serve as a nurse day after day and year after year. It is one of the more challenging professions and also the most rewarding. Their compassion, optimism and kindness is greatly appreciated.
Witham Health Services has an amazing nursing team! If you’d like to learn more about nursing opportunities here in our community please go to our website at witham.org/careers.
