National Nurses Week 2025: Honoring Nurses Today & Every Day

Every year, National Nurses Week gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the extraordinary impact nurses have on our lives. But one week will never be enough to fully express the gratitude they deserve.

Nurses are the heartbeat of healthcare. They are the ones who stand at the bedside through sleepless nights, calm our fears with a reassuring voice, and offer comfort when it's needed most. They work long hours, often behind the scenes, putting others' needs before their own—again and again.

They are the first to respond and the last to leave. They catch what others may miss, advocate for patients who can’t speak for themselves, and serve as the bridge between the medical system and human compassion. Their knowledge saves lives, but it’s their empathy and kindness that truly heal.

To all the nurses out there:
Thank you for your courage in the face of the unknown.
Thank you for the sacrifices you make—seen and unseen.
Thank you for holding hands, drying tears, and never giving up.

Your work is not just a profession—it’s a calling. And the impact you have reaches far beyond hospital walls or exam rooms. You make a difference every single day, in every life you touch.

This National Nurses Week—and every day—we honor you. We celebrate your strength. And we say, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you.
