May 2025 is National Nurses Month. As the largest group of health care professionals in the United States, nurses’ impact on health and health care is unparalleled. Nurses Month provides opportunities to promote understanding and awareness of our profession, encourages young people to consider nursing as a career and recognize the vast contributions of nurses. The theme for Nurses Month: You Make a Difference. The health care community is encouraged to consider different events each week to celebrate nurses. Suggestions include:
- Week 1: Self-care
- Â Week 2: Recognition
