Nurses play a vital role in our health

Did you know that the public has rated nursing as the most honest and ethical profession for the past 23 straight years? The fact that all in the nursing profession share a commitment to protecting, promoting, and improving health care for all is well recognized, and they serve the public in a wide range of roles and work settings.

To all nurses: Happy Nurses Week, and thank you for all that you do!
