National Nurses Week ended last week and now many are celebrating National Neuroscience Nurses Week. I feel that these "scheduled" days of recognition are a nice way to celebrate the hard work that nurses do everyday. I also think that these days bring us in touch with associated professional organizations and in some cases, even one step closer to certification. On that note, I thought I’d compile a list of special nursing celebrations planned for the rest of this year. Here we go:

I tried to be thorough in my search for these special days of recognition, but I’m sure there are more to add to this list. Just let me know!  My wish is that no matter your specialty or area of practice, you feel recognized and appreciated each day throughout the year…you deserve it!
