National Nurses Week occurs from May 6 to May 12, honoring nurses’ contributions with activities, events, and advocacy for health equity and improved patient care.

Nurse navigators provide personalized support to patients, ensuring they understand diagnoses, treatment options, and care coordination, particularly in oncology and chronic disease management.

Nurse educators prepare the next generation of nurses by combining clinical expertise with teaching strategies, enhancing patient care quality and driving innovation in healthcare.

Nursing strikes are rising due to staffing shortages, unsafe working conditions, and inadequate pay, impacting both healthcare workers and the quality of patient care.

Physician Assistants (PAs) work under physician supervision, performing diagnostic and therapeutic tasks, while Nurse Practitioners (NPs) often practice independently, focusing on primary care and patient management.

Evidence-based practice integrates research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values, leading to improved patient care, safety, and enhanced professional development in nursing.
