This resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of "National Nurses Week," which is observed annually from May 6 to May 12. This week, founded by the American Nurses Association, serves as a crucial time to acknowledge the vital contributions nurses make in providing safe, high-quality healthcare across the nation. It also commemorates the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Nurses are highlighted as the largest component of the healthcare profession, serving on the front lines, acting as patient advocates, and leading in the delivery of quality care. Their work significantly improves patient outcomes, reduces complications, and forms the cornerstone of the public health infrastructure. The resolution also notes their role in research, legislative efforts, and strengthening nursing workforce development programs. Ultimately, the House of Representatives resolves to support the ideals of National Nurses Week, recognize the profound impact nurses have on the United States healthcare system, and encourage the public to observe this week with appropriate recognition and activities. This aims to demonstrate the indispensable role nurses play in the everyday lives of patients and communities.
