Subject: | Memo #21 -- Resolution designating the week of May 6-12, 2016, as “Nurses Week” in Pennsylvania |
In the near future, I plan to introduce a Senate resolution designating the week of May 6-12, 2016, as “Nurses Week” in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has about 218,000 registered nurses, including approximately 55,000 licensed practical nurses and 12,000 advanced practice registered nurses. Nurses are the largest licensed health care profession in the Commonwealth, according to the Department of State. The Pennsylvania State Nurses Association was established in 1903 and has been essential in advocating, leading, and educating nurses to improve the health of patients in the Commonwealth. |
