AI Summary

This concurrent resolution recognizes the week of May 6-12 as National Nurses Week in Vermont, honoring the significant contributions of nurses to the healthcare system. The resolution provides context about the nursing profession, noting that there are 5.76 million nurses in the United States, with 4.91 million being registered nurses. It traces the history of National Nurses Week, which began in 1954 to commemorate Florence Nightingale's service and has since been officially recognized by various organizations and presidents. The resolution highlights nurses' essential role in healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, and private offices, and acknowledges the evolving nature of nursing, particularly the growing independence of nurse practitioners. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has designated the 2025 theme as "The Power of Nurses," and the resolution calls for officially recognizing this week in Vermont, with instructions for the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to ANA Vermont. The document celebrates nurses as "superheroes in scrubs" and emphasizes their ongoing dedication to patient care and healing.
