Happy National Nursing Week!
Nursing Week is an annual celebration in recognition of the hard work and contributions of nurses toward the health and wellbeing of our communities. This year's theme, "Changing Lives/Shaping Tomorrow", highlights the numerous ways in which nurses of all designations impact the lives of patients and their families and influence the future of health care. This Nursing Week, we recognize all nurses across BC for your work and dedication. Thank you!
#NursesChangingLives
- Each of BC's nearly 67,000 nurses - Licensed Practical Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, and Registered Psychiatric Nurses - make important and meaningful contributions to health care delivery and advocacy.
- Nurses are there for patients and families around the province, in all sectors and across all settings. With clinical expertise, health system knowledge, a patient-centred approach and commitment to the provision of ethical care, nurses are making a difference in the lives of patients each and every day.
- Nurses work closely with patients and families to understand their health goals, to advocate on their behalf for optimal care, and to implement care strategies that best meet their health needs.
#NursesShapingTomorrow
- Nurses are innovators and leaders, providing cutting-edge health care innovations and solutions to health system challenges.
- As educators, mentors, and researchers nurses are actively shaping the next generation of health care professionals.
