In honor of National Nurses Month in May and National Nurses Week (May 6-12), hospitals and health systems are recognizing nurses across the country.
This year, the American Nurses Association is again highlighting “The Power of Nurses” as its National Nurses Week theme.
Here are some stats to know about nurses in 2026:
1. For the 24th consecutive year, nurses have ranked as healthcare’s most trusted profession.
2. A March 26 American Nurses Enterprise-commissioned survey found that adjusting minimum wages for competitive compensation, as well as investments in safety, well-being, recruitment and retention, had a strong positive association with a hospital’s operating margin.
3. A Feb. 9 Philadelphia-based University of Pennsylvania survey found the majority of nurses who left bedside roles in recent years are willing to return, and adequate staffing levels are the factor that would reattract them.
4. Across the country, universities and health systems are opening and expanding nursing programs to meet student demand. However, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing found more than 65,000 qualified applicants were turned away in the most recent academic year — largely due to a shortage of nursing faculty.

Note: Responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity.
Monica Bologna, MSN, RN. Chief Nursing Officer of West Jefferson Medical Center (New Orleans): To all our dedicated front-line nurses: Having had the privilege of working alongside so many of you over the past 30 years, I remain continually inspired by your excellence, professionalism and unwavering commitment to care. Each day, you demonstrate what it truly means to serve others, showing up with skill, integrity and heart, even in the most challenging moments. You touch lives not only in the critical moments of care, but also through the quiet, everyday acts of kindness, compassion and attention that so often mean the most to patients and families.
You truly embody the spirit of family caring for family, creating an environment of trust, healing and hope. Because of your dedication, our patients feel seen, supported and safe, and our community is stronger for it. Your compassion, resilience, and strength are the foundation of this hospital and the reason we are able to fulfill our mission each day. Thank you for all that you do and for making a meaningful difference every single day.
Ruby Brewer, MSN, RN. Chief Nursing Officer of East Jefferson General Hospital/Lakeside Hospital (New Orleans): As we celebrate Nurses Week 2026, I want to extend my deepest gratitude and appreciation to each of you for the extraordinary work you do every day. Excellence is not an aspiration, it is a lived commitment.
Central to who we are is our shared commitment to our core behaviors: transformational, distinctive, collaborative, compassionate and respectful. These are not just words, they are the standards that guide how we lead, how we partner and how we care.
You demonstrate transformational thinking by driving change and advancing practice. You deliver distinctive care that sets us apart in quality and experience. You foster collaboration across disciplines, strengthening our teams and outcomes. You lead with compassion, ensuring every patient and colleague feels seen and supported. And you model respect in every interaction, creating an environment where all voices are valued and every individual is treated with dignity. You are the heart of our organization and the reason we achieve excellence.
Ashley Carlucci, DNP, RN. Chief Nursing Executive for Allegheny Health Network (Pittsburgh): As we celebrate Nurses Week, I want to pause and thank nurses for the leadership, compassion and expertise they bring to patients, families and communities every single day. Nursing sits at the center of care delivery, anchored in human caring, clinical excellence and a deep responsibility to those we serve.
Across every setting, nurses lead with courage and heart, often in moments that matter most. Your voice, judgment and presence continue to shape outcomes, elevate the care experience and advance the profession. Thank you for what you do, for who you are, and for the difference you make, today and always.
Lindsey Casey, MSN, RN. Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at Manning Family Children’s (New Orleans): To our extraordinary nurses, as we celebrate Nurses Week, I want to speak to you not only as a chief nursing officer, but as someone who has dedicated 25 years to this profession—at the bedside, in the hallways, in the hard moments and the joyful ones. I know what it feels like to show up and give everything you have. I know the weight of the responsibility you carry, and the pride that comes with being trusted by the children and families we serve.
The impact you make is profound. You bring comfort where there is pain, support where there is uncertainty, and hope when there is fear. You advocate fiercely, you care deeply and you give generously. What you do matters more than words can capture, and I hope you feel that truth not just this week, but every day.
I see your commitment. I see your resilience. I see the heart you pour into every patient, every shift, every challenge, and I am endlessly grateful. It is an honor to serve alongside such an exceptional, compassionate and resilient profession.
Melinda Cooling, DNP. Chief Nurse and Advanced Practice Provider Executive for OSF HealthCare (Peoria, Ill.): I am honored to share my appreciation for our OSF nurses during National Nurses Week. Each day, our nurses make a profound difference in the lives of patients, families and the communities we serve. Nursing is so much more than a profession, it is truly a calling. Our OSF Sisters remind us that everyone is here for a reason and with intention, and that purpose is deeply rooted in compassion, clinical expertise, advocacy and a commitment to providing safe care.
Whether at the bedside, in a clinic, at home or in the boardroom, the presence of our nurses shapes experiences and safety in ways that no metric can fully capture. Patients may not always remember the details of their care, but they always remember how they were treated, with kindness, empathy and respect. This lasting impact often comes from a reassuring word, attentive listening, strong advocacy, or the humility of the care team, and it is the very heart of nursing that extends far beyond clinical moments.
During Nurses Week, I want to express my deep gratitude for your expertise, courage and dedication. You are leaders every day, advancing our mission to deliver safe, compassionate care to every patient, every time. Thank you for being an OSF nurse and for everything you do!
Kodi Craft, BSN, RN. Chief Nursing Officer for Touro Hospital (New Orleans): Healthcare doesn’t work without nurses. And I see that in you every single day. I see it in the way you welcome patients in, not just as people receiving care, but as people who need to feel safe, heard, and at home. You create that sense of comfort from the very beginning, and you carry it through every interaction.
It shows up in the small moments and the big ones, the way you take a little extra time, the way you step in when things get busy and support one another. You bring both skill and heart, and it makes a difference not only in outcomes, but in how people feel while they’re here.
That’s what makes Touro special. And it’s because of you. It’s truly an honor to support you and be part of this team. Thank you for the care you give, the compassion you lead with and the environment you create for our patients and for each other.
Meredith Foxx, MSN, APRN. Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer of Cleveland Clinic: In honor of National Nurses Week, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to nurses across the country, and especially to our nurses at Cleveland Clinic, for the care, compassion and dedication you bring to your work every day. At Cleveland Clinic, nurses are the steady presence at the heart of care, bringing skill, empathy and humanity to every patient and every family in every moment that matters.
I have the privilege of seeing your impact firsthand. You listen closely, anticipate needs and advocate to ensure every patient feels safe, informed and respected. Over the past year, Cleveland Clinic nurses have led meaningful improvements in patient safety, strengthened communication across teams and translated evidence into practice in even the most complex situations. Just as important is the way you show up for one another.
You mentor colleagues, share knowledge and build strong, supportive teams grounded in professionalism and trust. Nursing is more than a profession. It is a calling rooted in service and compassion. Thank you for the countless ways you make a difference each day, including the moments that often go unseen. It is truly an honor to work alongside Cleveland Clinic nurses and to witness the difference you make for our patients, families and communities.
Allison Guste, BSN, RN/ Chief Nursing Executive for LCMC Health (New Orleans): To the nurses of LCMC Health, we hear “thank you for all you do” often, and while it is true, it still feels too small for the impact you make every day. You bring compassion, professionalism and clinical expertise into every interaction, creating trust and reassurance for patients and families during some of their most vulnerable moments. You have a unique ability to bring calm into situations that are anything but calm, steadying patients, families and each other when it matters most. You show up each day not just with skill, but with humanity, bringing your own experiences and vulnerability to the work while always keeping patients at the center of everything you do.
You are constantly learning, adapting and growing, and just as importantly, you are teaching and shaping the next generation of caregivers who will follow in your footsteps. What stands out most is your instinct to run toward the problem, to step in, take action and support one another without hesitation. That mindset defines who you are as nurses and sets the standard for excellence at LCMC Health.
You do not just deliver care, you shape how care is delivered, and through your voice, your judgment and your commitment, you influence outcomes in meaningful ways. Nursing is at the center of everything we do, and the strength of our organization is a direct reflection of you. Please know that you are respected, trusted and deeply valued, and we are grateful for the difference you make every single day.
Kimberly Hunter, DNP, RN. Chief Nurse Executive at University of Iowa Health Care (Iowa City): Every day, I am proud of the commitment you, our nurses, bring to patients across the University of Iowa Health Care system. You create a welcoming, respectful environment, always lead with confidence and consistently show up as an advocate to those in your care.
Every second, every hour, every day, your compassion, knowledge and dedication shape the health and well-being of our community. As UI Health Care continues to grow and evolve, your experience, teamwork and resilience guide the way. You help define who we are — not only as a department, but as a healthcare system.
Nursing is about creating an atmosphere of trust, offering comfort and being the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. It’s something you do naturally, and it makes all the difference. During Nurses Week, I hope you take some time to celebrate the exceptional impact you make. I’m honored to work alongside every one of you.
Pam Johnson-Carlson, DNP, RN. Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at Children’s Nebraska (Omaha): As chief nursing officer, it is an honor to thank our incredible nursing team and celebrate their remarkable achievements. Your compassion, expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence continue to inspire me. You bring our mission to life with every interaction, creating healing experiences grounded in professionalism, partnership and a true spirit of service.
Together, we reached an extraordinary milestone with our fifth Magnet with Distinction designation. This recognition reflects exemplary professional practice, transformational leadership, structural empowerment and the advancement of new knowledge, innovations and improvements. It affirms the strength and consistency of your practice and the depth of your collective commitment to excellence. We also earned our PTAP Accreditation with Distinction designation, a powerful validation of the supportive environment you create for nurses as they grow into confident and capable practitioners.
It is important to pause this Nurses Week and fully recognize how extraordinary you are. Your achievements reflect the courage, clinical excellence, expertise and compassion you bring to your work each day. Thank you for inspiring hope, leading with heart and shaping a healthier future for children and families. It is a privilege to serve alongside you.
CJ Marbley, BSN, RN. Chief Nursing Officer of University Medical Center and New Orleans East Hospital: Happy Nurses Week! I want to extend my deepest appreciation to our nurses at New Orleans East Hospital and University Medical Center New Orleans. I am in awe of your dedication, compassion, and skill every day, and it drives me to be the best at my job for you.
Each of you is incredibly vital to the role we play in the lives of our patients, their families and our communities, and I want you to know that it does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for everything you do. I hope you feel appreciated, recognized and joyful this Nurses Week!
Toby Marsh, DNP, RN. Interim Senior Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive for Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, Calif.): Every day, Kaiser Permanente nurses show up for the moments that matter most. Their skill, compassion, and dedication shape the care and experience our patients and their loved ones receive. Our nurses are vital members of our integrated care teams. They combine critical thinking with compassion to deliver extraordinary, evidence-based care to members and patients. Our nurses improve outcomes and advance the practice of nursing with new ideas, research, and technology. They set standards that advance the profession of nursing.
This is evident in our 14 Magnet® designated facilities, a demonstration of a culture of excellence where our nurses continually strive to be best-in-class. During Nurses Week, and every day, we celebrate the teamwork, professionalism, integrity and compassionate care that brought us here. We show the world the power of nursing excellence and shine a spotlight on Kaiser Permanente’s commitment to delivering excellent nursing care.
I am so proud to honor and celebrate our 78,630 nurses. Kaiser Permanente recognizes our nurses for the expertise they bring, the time they give, and the heart they lead with — always placing patients at the center of every decision. To all our nurses and to nurses everywhere, I wish you all a very happy Nurses Week!
Peggy Norton-Rosko, DNP, RN.

They blend clinical expertise and human connection, caring for patients and families while also supporting and learning from one another. Our nurses are critical to driving meaningful progress and ensuring we continue to meet the changing needs of our communities.
To our Trinity Health nurses, thank you for the dedication and pride you bring to your work every day.

The Power of Nurses is evident in every patient interaction, every moment of compassion and every life you touch. Your unwavering commitment not only shapes the patient experience but drives the clinical excellence that defines who we are as an organization. I am incredibly proud that we represent the very best of nursing through measurable patient outcomes and our achievement of Magnet with Distinction recognition — a testament to the strength, skill and dedication you bring to your practice.

As we expand access to care across Northern California, you remain at the center of improving outcomes and advancing the health of our communities. It is truly an honor to celebrate you and to witness the profound impact you make every day through the power of nursing excellence.
Betty Jo Rocchio, DNP, RN. Executive Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive at Advocate Health (Charlotte, N.C.): I still remember early in my nursing career caring for a patient facing a difficult cancer diagnosis. They were overwhelmed — trying to absorb new information, new fears and a future that suddenly felt uncertain. I couldn’t cure them, but I could care for them. I could sit at eye level, explain what was happening in plain language, hold a hand a little longer, and make sure their voice didn’t get lost in the rush of the day. When they thanked me for what I thought were “small” things, it reminded me that nursing is, at its heart, a promise: to show up with skill, courage and humanity when someone needs it most.
That promise is alive in you. To nurses everywhere — in hospitals and clinics, operating rooms, schools and homes — you step into life’s most vulnerable moments and bring expertise, calm and connection. You combine skill and calm to help patients feel safe in unfamiliar moments. You assess, prioritize and intervene with expertise that changes the course of care. You notice the small signs that make a big difference. You advocate, you teach, you lead and you keep going — always with purpose. During Nurses Week, I want to say what our patients feel every day: thank you. Thank you for choosing this profession, for the compassion you give so freely and for the strength you lend to every person and community you serve.
Brenda Rocha, DNP, RN. Chief Nursing Officer at Baystate Medical Center, Baystate Health (Springfield, Mass.): To my highly esteemed nurses, I salute and honor you with deep appreciation for your commitment to such an extraordinary profession. Nursing remains one of the most respected and trusted calling in the world, and each of you exemplifies why. Thank you for your smiles that bring comfort, your empowered voices that advocate fiercely, your courageous spirit in the face of challenge and your endless passion. The impact you make is felt in every moment of care, whether through a simple touch or an unspoken word.
Your resilience is nothing short of inspiring, and your spirit of inquiry continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, improving outcomes and transforming lives. I am deeply honored to lead you, to learn from you, and to walk beside you in this meaningful work. You are the heart of healing, the voice of hope and the embodiment of excellence in action. Thank you, for all that you are and all that you give. Happy Nurses Week.
Robert Rose, DNP, RN. Senior Vice President of Nursing and Chief Nursing Officer at Ascension (St. Louis): Our Ascension Mission is not just a statement; it is a tangible reality made possible by your commitment to be present for others and to ensure the most vulnerable receive the care they need. During National Nurses Week, we celebrate the incredible strength and dedication of our Ascension nurses. The American Nurses Association’s theme, “The Power of Nursing,” deeply represents us, as it is lived out every day through the extraordinary care you deliver to our families, patients, and the communities we serve. Your dedication and commitment make our Ascension Mission a living reality.
We recognize that nursing is a meaningful vocation — centered on serving humanity and ministering to people during some of the most difficult times of their lives. Whether you are impacting a patient’s care, promoting healing or working tirelessly to remove barriers so families can be reunited, your impact is immeasurable. Thank you for everything you do to care for our patients and families, and for being the hands and heart of Ascension. I am proud to practice alongside you.
Kathleen Sanford, RN. Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer of CommonSpirit Health (Chicago): As we celebrate National Nurses Week, I reflect on the work we did five years ago to develop the first strategic plan for nursing at CommonSpirit Health. At that time, we created five different pins to celebrate nursing, each engraved with words describing what it means to be a nurse at CommonSpirit. The words we chose to honor the skills and vision that nurses bring to care for patients and communities are applicable across our profession:
- Head, heart and hands: You use your head, your heart and your hands to provide care for patients.
- Intellect with love: This is a reminder that we are bright, science-focused professionals who always practice with love.
- Compassion and skill: No matter how skilled you are, in healthcare you must also have compassion, and that describes nurses perfectly.
- Art and science: As we know, nursing is both an art and a science.
- Collegiality and leadership: Collegiality defines the teamwork and spirit of our profession, while leadership reflects the vital role that nurses play in shaping patient care and driving healthcare innovation forward.
To all nurses: Thank you for choosing this profession and for using your talents to make a difference. Most of all, thank you for being united in the purpose and passion of caring for patients.
Jen Schmidt, MSN, RN. Chief Nursing Officer of Lakeview Hospital (New Orleans): Happy Nurses Week to our extraordinary nurses! I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible dedication, compassion, and resilience each of you brings to your work every single day. The care you provide goes far beyond clinical skills; you offer comfort, strength and reassurance to patients and their families during some of their most vulnerable moments.
Your teamwork, professionalism and commitment do not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for the skill and heart you bring to Lakeview Hospital and our community.
Thank you for everything you do — not just this week, but every day. You make a meaningful difference, and it shows in the lives you touch.
Bryan Sisk, DNP, RN. Chief Nursing Executive of Memorial Hermann Health System (Houston): To our more than 14,000 nurses across Memorial Hermann, thank you!
What you do inside our walls matters deeply. But what I’ve come to appreciate even more is what you carry beyond them. Nurses don’t clock out from who they are. You show up in your neighborhoods and your communities as the same person you are at the bedside: someone people turn to when they need to feel safe and understood.
The legacy nurses leave isn’t always marked by a date or a ceremony. It lives in the student who decided to enter healthcare because a nurse took time to explain something with patience. It lives in the family that found their footing in a frightening moment because someone stayed a little longer to make sure they truly understood.
During Nurses Week, I am reminded that this kind of impact doesn’t show up in a metric. It shows up in lives quietly changed. Some believe opportunities to build something that truly lasts are rare. I believe in healthcare, with the right team and a shared vision, “rare” isn’t part of the vocabulary, because together, we can reimagine what’s possible every day. You are proof of that. Thank you for the legacy you are building.
Cathy Stankiewicz, DNP, RN. Chief nursing officer of AdventHealth Central Florida (Altamonte Springs, Fla.): During National Nurses Week, we pause to recognize something we know to be true — that the strength of healthcare does not begin in boardrooms or policy, but at the bedside, in the steady hands and compassionate hearts of nurses.
To our AdventHealth nurses: you show us every single day what it means to care for the whole person. Not just the body, but the mind and spirit. Not just illnesses, but the human being behind them. In moments of fear, you bring calm. In moments of uncertainty, you bring clarity. And in moments of despair, you bring hope and reassurance that remind our patients they are never alone.
This week, I am reminded that nursing is much more than a profession — it is a calling and ministry of presence, compassion and unwavering commitment. It is an honor to walk alongside you. Because your expertise saves lives. Your voice shapes the future of care. And your commitment defines who we are as an organization. To all of our AdventHealth nurses, we are profoundly grateful.
Janet Tomcavage, MSN, RN. Executive Vice President and Chief Nursing Executive for Geisinger (Danville, Pa.): Nurses are the steady heart of healthcare — showing up every day with skill, compassion and resilience. You care for patients at their most vulnerable moments, listening closely, advocating fiercely, and delivering expert care with humanity and dignity. Your ability to combine clinical excellence with genuine empathy makes a lasting difference not only in outcomes, but in how patients and families experience care.
Thank you for the extraordinary work you do, often under intense situations with higher acuity needs. Your dedication, teamwork and courage lift entire communities and inspire everyone around you. Healthcare is stronger because of you, and your impact reaches far beyond the bedside into our ambulatory and home settings. We are deeply grateful for all that you do — today and every day.
Syl Trepanier, DNP, RN. Chief Nurse Executive at Providence (Renton, Wash.): It is with immense gratitude and pride that I thank each and every nurse across the Providence family of organizations. Thank you for your dedication to our patients, to the nursing profession, to our communities and to each other. I know what you do is not easy. The long hours, the difficult decisions, the sometimes-heartbreaking moments. You are appreciated, you are loved and valued. Happy Nurses Week.
Barbara Vazquez, DNP, RN. Chief Nursing Officer at Christus Children’s Hospital (San Antonio): I want to share my sincere gratitude for the extraordinary nurses at Christus Children’s and for every nurse across the country. Your commitment, compassion and clinical excellence are fundamental to the care we provide and to the strength of our healthcare system. Every day, the impact you make on our patients and their families is profound, meaningful and lasting. Together, we reflect a culture grounded in teamwork, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to compassion and excellence that guides our mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
It is truly an honor to work alongside such skilled and caring professionals. Your dedication and contributions are central to our success as an organization. As we celebrate Nurses Week, we pause to acknowledge the vital role you play and the sacrifices you make in delivering exceptional care. Thank you for earning the trust of the families we serve and for creating a compassionate, healing environment. Each of you contributes uniquely to the supportive culture that distinguishes Christus Children’s and makes our hospital a special place to care for children and families.
Janice Walker, DHA, BSN, RN, System Chief Nursing Officer and Senior Vice President at University of Florida Health (Gainesville): Every day across University of Florida Health, nurses bring extraordinary skill, compassion and dedication to the patients and communities we serve. As we celebrate National Nurses Week, we want to highlight how our nurses make a difference far beyond the walls of our hospitals and ambulatory care setting — from the bedside and outpatient practices to classrooms, care coordination, informatics, research, community, homecare and leadership throughout our health system. Nurses are some of the most powerful and trusted professionals in healthcare. Their impact is seen in the moments that matter the most — when patients need comfort, families need reassurance and clinical expertise makes all the difference. They help define our aspiration as an organization.
Our nurses guide patients through life’s most challenging times, offering hope, empathy and skilled care at every turn while serving as advocates who ensure every patient’s voice is heard. Across UF Health as well as University of Florida College of Nursing, nurses are the heart of our care teams. Thank you to all UF Health Nurses and the world for answering the “calling” for our patients, families, each other and our communities daily. Your dedication and devotion are celebrated not just during National Nurses Week but all days of the week, 24/7, 365 days a year.

Across UCI Health, I am deeply grateful for our nurses who heal, advocate, innovate and lead with both skill and heart. Whether at the bedside, in our clinics, classrooms, research settings or leadership roles, your impact is profound and far-reaching. Thank you for the extraordinary difference you make for our patients, families and communities each day.
Roxanne Weisendanger, BSN, RN. Chief Nursing Officer of El Paso (Texas) Children’s Hospital:This Nurses Week 2026, we reflect on the incredible work happening here at El Paso Children’s Hospital and the commitment of nurses all around the country. Every day, we witness a level of dedication that goes far beyond the status quo. You all are the heartbeat of our hospital and provide the courage that parents need when they are at their most vulnerable.
Thank you for your long hours, your sleepless nights and the continual strength you invest in every patient. Thank you for the smiles you bring to the faces of our children and the unwavering support you offer to your fellow team members. I am immensely proud to lead such a talented, empathetic and professional team of nurses. You are the reason El Paso Children’s Hospital is a place of hope and healing.
Launette Woolforde, EdD, DNP, RN. Executive Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive at Northwell Health (Manhasset, N.Y.): This Nurses Week, I extend my deepest thanks to the more than 22,000 Northwell Health nurses—and to nurses everywhere. I’m proud to join so many in celebrating all that you do to elevate and advance our noble profession. Across every corner of healthcare, you are recognized by patients, families, and colleagues for the profound difference you make. Your unique blend of clinical expertise and compassion — skill paired with genuine caring — transforms the experiences of those you serve and improves the lives of patients, families, and communities around the world.
Whether you are in a procedure room, at the bedside, in an office, a patient’s home, or serving in ambulatory or community settings, your impact is profound. From the beginning of life to its final hours — and every moment in between — you bring purpose, presence, and meaning to each encounter. To be entrusted with the life of another is an extraordinary responsibility.
