Today marks the final day of Nurses Week 2021. ANA Enterprise joins the World Health Organization (WHO) and global colleagues in extending the Year of the Nurse into 2021. This recognition builds on the increased visibility of nurses’ contributions from 2020 and ANA’s expansion of National Nurses Week to Nurses Month in May. We rounded up some highlights from the week and look forward to celebrating nurses for the rest of the month and year!
