National Nurses Day

Who are some of the sweetest, most caring people on the planet?

Well, farmgirls, natch. But who else?

Nurses.

May 6th is National Nurses Day, kicking off a week of recognition that ends on May 12th, the birthday of nurse extraordinaire, Florence Nightingale.

Think about it … nurses see us at our worst, help us when we most need it, and take care of us no matter what shape we’re in.

Know a nurse? Be sure to give him or her a huge, heartfelt thank you this week.

As a matter of fact, why wait?

I’m happy we have a special day set aside, but nurses—just like moms, who also have a special day coming up this month—deserve our thanks every day.

    As a nurse for the past 33 years, I can say it has been a challenging and interesting career! Thank-you for remembering all of us nurses here on MJF Connection!!
