Let’s take a look at the History of Nurses Week and some of the individual days to Celebrate Nursing… National Nurses Week is a time for nurses to be honored and recognized as a profession for the work that they do and the commitment and contributions they make to their communities.

Spring Holidays
I hope everyone had a great Easter, Passover, Ramadan or whatever you celebrate this time of year! I read that it’s once every 33 years that these three holidays coincide.

Breathe, drink in the beauty around you and do something for YOU! Happy Spring! Kathy
