National Nurses Month

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee has once again declared May 2022 to be Nurses Month.

The UW School of Nursing joins the American Nurses Association and Washington State Nurses Association in celebrating National Nurses Month this May and recognizing this year’s theme “You Make A Difference”. This recognition adds to the growing national and international support for the role nurses play in our healthcare system, our community, and in combating the current coronavirus pandemic.

Executive Dean Azita Emami reflects on the importance of National Nurses Month and the role nurses play in the health of our communities.
