NATIONAL NURSES WEEK TO BE CELEBRATED AT KINGMAN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

The work of America's 2.9 million Registered Nurses to save lives and to maintain the health of millions of individuals, is the focus of this year's National Nurses Week, celebrated annually May 6-12 throughout the United States. This year, the American Nurses Association has selected "Nurses: Making A Difference Every Day" as the theme for 2008.

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. Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which Registered Nurses, the largest health care profession is 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.

Throughout the week, nurses at Kingman Regional Medical Center will be recognized for their service and receive special gifts. They will also be honored at a special ceremony held in the Forsyth Healing Gardens on the Hospital campus on Tuesday, May 6th at 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. where they will renew their nurse’s pledge.
