National Nurses Week
National Nurses Week is May 6–12!
Nurses and health professionals have devoted themselves to a grueling profession with compassion and perseverance. But despite backbreaking understaffing, terrifying workplace safety issues and dizzying schedules, nurses and other healthcare professionals remain at the bedside of patients, providing care for our communities when they need it most. During National Nurses Week, celebrated each May, we honor nurses and the work they do and have launched the Code Red: Understaffing = Patient Care Crisis campaign to improve their working conditions.
Our Code Red campaign is a response by the AFT and our healthcare affiliates around the country who are leading efforts to secure safe patient limits and other crucial protections to improve the quality of care our patients receive.
PIC is just around the corner! Please register by Monday, May 12th to join us in Chicago from June 12-13th using this link: PIC 2025 Registration Link. For any questions regarding PIC, please reach out to Haley Quinn ([email protected]) or Gabriela Cipolla ([email protected]).
