It is designed to be a space for all nurses—whether they are staff nurses, travel nurses, international nurses, or nursing students—seeking to take their careers to the next level..
How should Nursing Careers Week be celebrated or observed? Through a series of expert-led webinars, interactive sessions, and community-driven conversations, Nursing Careers Week should highlight career opportunities, skill-building strategies, and the steps necessary for nurses to thrive in today’s evolving healthcare landscape.
Why was Nursing Careers Week created? Empowering the Future of Nursing: Since 2020, no profession has been more profoundly impacted than the nursing profession. Nurses across the United States and the world faced an unprecedented challenge as they shouldered the weight of the global pandemic. From managing overwhelming patient loads to enduring mandatory overtime and navigating immense stress, nurses were pushed to their limits, testing both their skills and their well-being.
Yet, the resilience of nurses shined through. Rising to the occasion, they emerged post-pandemic as the most beloved and trusted profession once again. But the pandemic also sparked a shift in the way nurses think about their careers.
This transformation is at the heart of Nursing Careers Week, an annual week designed to educate, inspire, and empower nurses to build the nursing career of their dreams.
