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.

lone emerged fourth in the
“Small Schools” division.
In only its third year
on the circuit, the lone team
has made huge strides. The
team attended 16 tourna
ments over three states this
year. Coach Jim Raible
credits the hard work and
dedication of the students,
raising roughly 80% of its
own expenses by running
the concessions during fall
and winter sporting events.
Raible also acknowledges
the organizational skills
of team secretary Brianna
Peterson and the support of
the staff, the administration,
and the lone Booster Club.
“Speech and debate has
changed the lives of these
young people. They have
made friends not only from
Oregon, but from all over
the western United States.
They have learned to respect
diversity, think critically,
and speak intelligently.”
