Let’s celebrate Nurses Week 2017

May 9, 2017

This year’s National Nurses Week theme is “Nursing: The Balance of Mind, Body and Spirit, and we’re celebrating our more than 3,000 Texas Children’s nurses who lead the charge for health and wellness every day.

To recognize our amazing nurses and their nursing colleagues around the country, May 6 through May 12 is designated as National Nurses Week. Each year during this time, we pause to recognize and applaud the successes, accomplishments and contributions that our nurses make to their patients and their profession.

The Nursing Retention Council has taken great pride in developing a schedule of events that are designed to ensure that nurses from across our system know how deeply valued they are. Saturday, May 6, kicked off an exciting week full of memorable events, activities and educational opportunities, including fun activities for nurses on their individual units.

On Tuesday, May 16, Connect will feature event highlights from Nurses Week, including special recognitions of our 2017 Nursing Excellence Awards winners as well as our nurses who have been recognized among the Houston Chronicle Salute to Nurses Top 150 and Top 10.
