Employee Recognition & Engagement Resources

 Nurses play a vital role in the healthcare system, providing essential care and support to patients. They work long and often grueling hours, and they often face challenging and stressful situations.

National Nurses Week (May 6-12) is an opportunity to show appreciation for the dedication and commitment of nurses, and to raise awareness about the important work that they do. It is also a time to celebrate the profession of nursing and to recognize the many achievements of nurses.

Hospital staff work some of the most demanding jobs there are physically, emotionally and spiritually – and it takes its toll on all medical staff. That’s why it is especially fitting that we celebrate National Hospital Week and National Nurses Week every year – to take the time, to take care of the people who spend their careers taking care of us.

Nearly 1.5 million. That’s the number of Americans who currently live in nursing homes and long-term care facilities across the nation. People who, in many cases, depend almost entirely on their caregivers – men and women who have dedicated their lives to helping others. Rarely is this an easy job.

Chances are, you didn’t enter the medical industry just because you wanted a better parking space or a bigger paycheck. You joined the world of healthcare to make a difference, to save lives, and to change the world around you – one patient at a time.

Patient Safety Awareness Week, which runs from March 11-17, provides an awesome opportunity to do just that. To help you make the most of the big week, C.A. Short Company has put together the following resources, tools, and content you can use to participate in — and spread awareness about — the event.
