2020 was dubbed “The year of the nurse and midwife” by the American Nurses Association in honor of the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale. With the rapid onset of Covid-19 this year, the name proves to be appropriate!

Nurses have worked tirelessly on the front lines in hospitals, doctor’s offices, drive through testing sites, telehealth, and more! I want to give a great big thank you to my fellow nurses. All of your hard work and dedication to your patients is very much appreciated. Your communities and your country are grateful for all that you do!
