Nurses Week 2024: Nurses Make the Difference
May 6 - 12, 2024
Happy National Nurses Week! We honor the incredible nurses who embody the spirit of compassion and care in every health care setting — you truly make the difference for patients, families, and communities locally, nationally, and globally. Thank you for all you do!
We are pleased to offer a full week of activities and initiatives for all UMSON community members and UMMC nurses, in person, online, and on social media, in celebration of Nurses Week.
