Answer by  jaymay (71)

Nurses' Day is on May 6th and is the beginning of "Nurses' Week." The week ends on May 12th (Florence Nightengale's birthday). The intention of Nurses' Day is to honor nurses and educate the public on the importance of nurses, and what they do for us. The history can be traced back to 1953, when the day was first proposed.
