Celebration of Student Nurses

Today, May 8th, is National Student Nurse Day! We must take today to celebrate all of the young minds studying to become nurses.National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. These permanent dates enhance planning and position National Nurses Week as an established recognition event. As of 1998, May 8 was designated as National Student Nurses Day, to be celebrated annually. And as of 2003, National School Nurse Day is celebrated on the Wednesday within National Nurses Week (May 6-12) each year.

Student Nurses are at the cutting edge of technology, learning the latest life-saving techniques. At the same time, they are practicing skills in programs that have been built upon medical science. Each year, the demand for nurses grows. Now more than ever, the nursing field needs more people dedicated to the field of medicine. Their drive to care, learn, and specialize in nursing will make the difference in the lives of millions of individuals and the families who love them each year. National Student Nurses Day celebrates these students and their achievements.

Encourage the student nurses you know today. They often
become discouraged. If you’re in the nursing profession, offer words of wisdom
and support. Families and friends show your support, too, and let them know how
proud you are of their direction and focus. Use #NationalStudentNurseDay to
share on social media to give a student nurse you know a shout out.
