On May 6th, National Nurses Day is annually observed. On this day, we raise the barrage of all nurse contributions and commitments while still acknowledging the vital role nurses play in society. This day is also the first day of National Nurses Week and is also known as National RN Recognition Day.

Florence Nightingale's birthday (May 6, 1820 – August 13, 1910) is the start of National Nurses Week, which begins on May 6th and concludes on May 12th, which is Florence Nightingale's birthday (May 12, 1820 – August 13, 1910). Florence Nightingale was a celebrated English, social reformer, statistician, and the originator of modern nursing. During the Crimean War, she became well-known for caring for the wounded soldiers. Because of her habit of making rounds at night, Nightingale was nicknamed "The Lady with the Lamp."
