Nurses Week falls on May 6-12 — commemorating the work and dedication of millions of nurses across America, and culminating on the birthday of the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale.
This week I thank my colleagues, my former students, and my caregivers for their inspiration and dedication to our profession. I personally thank the nurses who have cared for me at Utah Cancer Specialists, at LDS Hospital same day and recovery units, the University Murray Ophthalmology Clinic, and the Moran Eye Center. You have given me exemplary care, you have helped me recover, and you have kept me safe.
