Ideas for commemorating

  • Commemorate the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth by hosting a Zoom meeting to discuss her influence on nurses today.

  • On social media:

    • In all your posts, use #CNA2021 #WeAnswerTheCall #IKnowANurse #NationalNursingWeek #IND2021 #Nurses2021

    • Share pictures and stories that create awareness about National Nursing Week.

    • Showcase and describe the diversity of your role, your team and your working environments.

    • Use #IKnowANurse to share stories of exceptional nurses, because everyone knows a nurse who has left a lasting impression!

    • Follow CNA on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube

  • Be personal: write thank-you notes as a sign of your appreciation for all that your nursing staff does for patients daily. Such gestures have become increasingly rare, so this simple act of recognition can make a profound difference in employee morale.
