Nurses Week

National Nurses Day is observed annually on May 6, marking the beginning of National Nurses Week. The day recognizes the contribution nurses and nurse midwives make and offers an opportunity to say thanks. National Nurses Week ends on May 12, the birthday of the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared 2020 the International Year of the Nurse in honor of the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. In light of the pandemic, the Year of the Nurse and Midwife has been extended into 2021.

Help us celebrate the incredible work of our College of Nursing faculty over the past year. Is there a nursing instructor who has made an impact on your life or career? Do you have a special memory from your time as a student? Is there a Pirate Nurse who has made a difference in your life? Here is your chance to let to tell a beloved professor, clinical instructor or mentor what they mean to you.

Send us a message and let us know what this nurse or the ECU College of Nursing means to you—and consider making a gift to support the college. We’ll compile all the messages and share then with our amazing faculty members during Nurses’ Week.
