In anticipation of National Nurses’ Week, May 6-12, 2009, I wanted to take this time to thank you for choosing to become a member of the profession of nursing. As nurses, you are at the center of health care wherever you work locally, nationally, or globally. Each day you make a difference in the lives of people and their families because you truly care to save lives, to alleviate suffering, and because you have the passion to change the world.
Whether you are studying to be a nurse, practicing nursing at the bedside, conducting nursing research and advancing science, bringing along the next generation of nurses, or using your nursing competencies in some other part of your life, I applaud you for choosing to be a member of the “caring profession”. So during National Nurses’ Week, let me salute you and thank you for all you have done and all that you will do in the future as a PENN NURSE.
