CELEBRATING MAY AS NATIONAL NURSES MONTH

The picture above shows Nursing Instructor, Anita Boutwell and Lynette Ruckman, Director of Nursing for Brewton and Atmore admiring our library display in Brewton celebrating National Nurses Month.

National Nurses Month is a month-long celebration in May to show appreciation for and encourage a better understanding of all the contributions nurses make every day.  The month includes several special days of appreciation including National Nurse Day, International Nurse Day, National Student Nurse Day and National School Nurse Day.  The celebration of a National Nurse Week goes as far back as 1954 but was designated officially by a White House proclamation in 1974.
