Celebrating Nurses





National Nursing Week is May 6-12, 2019



Just as we are for military veterans, we should be thankful for the service of our nurses. They do not have an easy job, and at times it can be downright dangerous, yet they work tirelessly for the people in their communities.

I have cousins and ancestor relatives that are and were nurses and I applaud them all!

Not enough doctors in your area? Ask about a Nurse Practioner, they are not as restricted as doctors are and have the same access to specialists. I have a NP as my primary and I get the best of care. 

This and previous related posts will give you resources to find and celebrate your nursing ancestors.
