National Nursing Week is here! During this week, from May 11th to the 17th, the Canadian Nurses Protective Society (CNPS) celebrates the vital role that nurses of all designations play in shaping the future of health care. We thank our more than 175,000 CNPS beneficiaries across the country!

This week is a meaningful time to recognize the dedication and the impact of nurses, but to also recognize the nursing associations, who work to support the advancement of the profession in many ways. Through their work, they help to shape health care policy, support ongoing education, ensure high standards of care in diverse settings, and amplify the collective voice of nurses across Canada.

This year, the CNPS has put together a list of fun and inspiring National Nursing Week events being hosted by our partners from coast to coast to coast. We hope this list helps you to explore what is happening and to get involved in National Nursing Week no matter where you are in Canada. The link to the event list can be found in our May Continuing Education newsletter.

We thank our partners for working on this initiative with us. We wish everyone a Happy National Nursing Week!
