By Molly Rhea The work of Amer ica’s 2.9 million registered nurses to save lives and to maintain the health of mil lions of individuals is the focus of this year’s National Nurses Week, celebrated annually May 6-12 through out the United States. This year, the American Nurses Association has selected “Nurses: Building a Healthy America” as the theme for 2009. Often described as an art and a science, nursing is a profession that embraces dedicated people with varied interests, strengths and pas sions because of the many opportunities the profession offers. In Morrow County you can find nurses working in the emergency room, the hospital, as public health nurses, in clinics, and in patient’s homes for home health and hospice. We have many roles - from staff nurse to nurse practitioner to administration - and serve all of them with passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to pa tient safety. Today's nurses must have the strength to care for patients during times of disaster and crisis; the com mitment to remain involved in continuing education throughout their careers; and the compassion to provide hands-on patient care at the bedside - as they have done throughout the centuries. At 2.9 million strong, nurses represent the largest group of health care workers in America, and we have the power to achieve much- needed reform in nursing and in health care. Not a week goes by that I do not marvel at the dedication and resilience of the nurses I work with on a daily basis. Their knowl edge and compassion seem boundless. I would like ev eryone to take time out dur ing National Nurses Week to thank nurses for what they do and to remind the public just how vital our nation’s nurses are to patients, their families and society. Annu ally, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Night ingale, founder of nursing as a modem profession.
