Tri-Council salutes nation’s nurses

AONL and other Tri-Council for Nursing members salute the nation’s 5.7 million nurses during National Nurses Week, May 6-12. This year’s theme, “The Power of Nurses,” embodies the irreplaceable value of nurses as the backbone of the health care system. From the bedside to the battlefield, research labs to rural clinics and classrooms to boardrooms, nurses make a lasting impact on the lives of their patients, the statement said. An alliance of national nursing organizations focused on nursing education, regulation and practice, the Tri-Council also includes the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the American Nurses Association, the National League for Nursing and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
