MU Law is pleasedto recognize that May 6th to May 12th is National NursesWeek in the United States. National Nurses Week is a weeklong celebration ofthe significant contributions nurses have and continue to make inAmerica.
Nurses make upthe largest part of the health care workforce, with more than four millionregistered nurses, almost one million licensed practical nurses, and over300,000 nurse practitioners nationwide. While it is a large profession, thereis still room for more nurses to overcome longstanding staffing shortages andmeet growing demand in the future.
Every day, nursesgo above and beyond to provide heroic and life-saving care. At MU we are proudto honor nurses for their amazing dedication and commitment to their patients,their patient’s families, and our nation’s most vulnerable communities.
To all the nurseswho read this page, THANK YOU for all that you do!
