Nursing Week is celebrated each year across Canada during the week of Florence Nightingale’s birthday, May 12th, the founder of modern nursing. It is a time to recognize the year-round dedication and achievements of Registered Nurses (RNs), Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs), and to increase awareness of their contributions to the well-being of our community.
