Dear Nurses,
We congratulate you, Nurses, for contributing to the health and well-being of persons and communities during a tumultuous year of the Covid-19 pandemic. We honor you for caring for others in wellness and sickness. Nurses are recognized for being the most trusted health care professionals in the United States for good reason.
We applaud you, Nurses, for providing incredible patient care for persons, ill with the Covid-19 virus, doing everything you can to make sure your patients have the best chance of survival. We celebrate your victories and mourn your losses with you.
We admire the physical and mental risks that Nurses take, as you care for patients and face your own vulnerabilities, to a virus that is still spreading in variants across the country. We appreciate the expertise and sacrifice of all Nurses caring for critically ill persons. We also also honor Nurses administering Covid-19 Vaccinations while promoting access and encouraging others to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from this illness.
Each day, take professional and personal time to care for yourself. Pause to realize the comfort and good you have provided to so many people.
The Nursing Friends of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House thank you and celebrate Nurses Week with you!
