Since the pandemic, honoring our nation’s nurses is more profoundly significant, which makes this month of recognition in May even more important.

Whether it is a national health emergency or routine daily care, nurses’ vital contributions impact the health and well-being of our communities, which is why ANA selected the theme for May as Nurses Make a Difference. To honor nurses and support the nursing profession, ANA will promote weekly themes and activities. While continued physical distancing may limit our face-to-face activities, we encourage everyone to think of creative ways to virtually engage.

The month will be divided into four weekly focuses – Self-Care, Recognition, Professional Development, and Community Engagement. Click on the icons below as they become live so you can take part in our weekly activities:
