Supporting the goals and ideals of National Nurses Week, to be observed from May 6 through May 12, 2025.

There are more than 4.9 million registered nurses in the United States, making nursing the largest single component of the healthcare profession — and the public consistently rates it the most honest and ethical profession in America. Nurses serve on the front lines during wartime, natural disasters, and public health emergencies, and research shows that when nurse staffing levels increase, patient complications and hospital stays decrease. This resolution supports National Nurses Week (May 6–12, 2025) and recognizes nurses' contributions to patient safety, healthcare quality, public health, and community well-being.
