Happy National Student Nurse Day! The day honors any and all student nurses as they pursue a career in medicine.
Student nurses are at the cutting edge of technology, learning the latest life-saving techniques. At the same time, they are practicing skills in programs that have been built upon medical science.
Each year, the demand for nurses grows. Now more than ever, the nursing field needs more people dedicated to the field of medicine.
It is their drive to care, learn, and specialize in nursing that will make the difference in the lives of millions of individuals and the families who love them each year.
A registered nurse (RN) will attend four years of nursing school to attain a bachelor’s of science in nursing degree.
Nurses also branch out into specialties advancing their careers into other areas of medicine.
National Student Nurses Day celebrates these students and their achievements.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Encourage a student nurse you know. They often become discouraged. If you’re in the nursing profession, offer words of wisdom and support.
Families and friends show your support, too, and let them know how proud you are of their direction and focus.
Use #NationalStudentNurseDay to share on social media to give a student nurse you know a shout out.
HISTORY
In 1953, Dorothy Sutherland of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare proposed National Nurse Week.
Although a proclamation never came about, it was observed the following year.
In 1998, National Student Nurse Day was established by the American Nurses Association to recognizes student nurses.
How can you thank or acknowledge a student nurse today?
