Courtsey Alert

National Nurses Week, May 6-12, provides a wonderful opportunity to recognize the multitude of ways the nursing profession contributes to the health of the nation. This is an exceptionally exciting time for nursing in our country, and today, with the Affordable Care Act, the work nurses do is more important than ever.

To celebrate National Nurses Week, HRSA has created a webpage where you’ll find a number of useful tools including:

A video of Secretary Sebelius and me talking about nurses and the Affordable Care Act
· An infographic, highlighting some of HRSA’s programs
· Links to HRSA’s nursing education and training programs, scholarship and loan repayment programs, and other resources.

I hope you’ll take the time to visit http://www.hrsa.gov/ourstories/nursesweek/ and share this information widely with your students, through your networks, and with other colleagues in the nursing community.
