National Nurses Week 2022

National Nurses Week 2022
National Nurses Week 2022

Have you heard of Florence Nightingale, the nurse who cared for wounded soldiers, pioneered new methods for presenting data, and established principles to guide the profession? National Nurses Week, a weeklong celebration of nurses, culminates on her birthday, May 12.

Do you know a modern day “Florence Nightingale” at your practice? Read on to learn how you can celebrate these healthcare workers who care for patients, bring insight, and save lives.

4 million registered nurses

What is National Nurses Week?

Hard work can go unnoticed, and that makes National Nurses Week an important time. It’s an opportunity to recognize nurses, as well as to acknowledge the crucial role of nursing in healthcare overall.

One can describe nursing as “both an art and a science,” according to the American Nurses Association (ANA), that involves “a fundamental respect for human dignity and an intuition for a patient’s needs.”

President Richard Nixon enacted National Nurses Week in 1974. The ANA designated May 6-12 as permanent dates for National Nurses Week starting in 1994.  

National Nurses Week presents a wonderful opportunity for everyone to acknowledge the importance of our nurses, as well as promote the profession of nursing and the major role it plays in healthcare.

From caring for patients during critical ER emergencies to delivering babies to comforting a family that has lost a loved one, nurses of all specialties are there for us when we need them most.

Recognizing our nurses

This year, to display their gratitude, members of our Greenway Champions program recognized nurses from their practices to be showcased on Greenway social channels. Read the bios of three outstanding nurses.

Maria Resoner, RN

Maria Resoner, RN, Pediatrics Associates, Inc.

Maria has been a registered nurse for six years. She has always had an interest in healthcare, and she’s truly passionate about caring for and treating children. Maria’s ability to communicate with children and their parents makes her a wonderful nurse, according to her practice. Thank you, Maria, for your hard work and compassion!


Rachel Rhodes, LPN

Rachel Rhodes, LPN, Conway OB-GYN Clinic, P.A.

Rachel became a licensed practical nurse 12 years ago. She decided to pursue a career in nursing because she’s passionate about helping people. Rachel is extremely dependable and approaches every obstacle with a “can do” attitude, her practice writes. Thank you, Rachel, for your endless determination to provide care to those in need.


Shirley Wade, FNP

Shirley Wade, FNP, St. Gabriel Health Clinic

Shirley has been a dedicated family nurse practitioner for over 30 years and is also the CEO of her clinic. She became a nurse because she wanted to improve communities. Her ability to get things done has earned her the title of “Superwoman” around her office. Thank you, Shirley, for all your compassion and inspiration.


Tell us about a nurse you know who makes a difference

We are eager to hear about the hardworking nurses at your practice who go above and beyond.

Ideas for celebrating nurses

When it comes to demonstrating appreciation for nurses, it’s the thought that counts most of all. If you’re looking for a creative way to show your gratitude, consider these ideas:  

  • Thank a nurse with a meal or beverage
    Nurses are often extremely busy at work and have limited time to take breaks for themselves throughout a shift. Surprising a nurse with a meal or coffee is a wonderful way to show your appreciation and help keep them energized!
  • Donate blood
    If you are eligible and comfortable doing so, donating blood is a quick and easy way to contribute to our healthcare system as it helps to save countless lives.
  • Write a kind message
    If you know a nurse personally, taking five minutes out of your day to send them a message thanking them for all that they do is a simple yet meaningful way to remind them that they are valued and appreciated.

Celebrating nurses one day out of the year just isn’t enough, which is why they get an entire week! After all, they are some of the most selfless humans on the planet. Join us this National Nurses Week as we honor these noble individuals who put their lives on the line to keep us healthy day in and day out.
