This resolution designates the week of May 6-12, 2025, as "National Nurses Week" in Delaware, recognizing the critical role of nurses in healthcare. The resolution highlights that nurses constitute the largest healthcare profession and have been ranked as the most ethical profession for 23 consecutive years. It acknowledges the diverse nursing professionals, including licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, and advanced practice registered nurses, who provide compassionate care across various healthcare settings. The resolution emphasizes nurses' significant contributions during the pandemic and their ongoing importance in addressing complex healthcare needs, particularly with an aging population and expanding healthcare technologies. The Delaware Nurses Association (DNA) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) support this designation, with the theme "Nurses Make the Difference." Beyond recognizing nurses during this specific week, the resolution also calls for ongoing acknowledgment of nurses' accomplishments and efforts to improve communities and the healthcare system throughout the year.
