Celebrate Neuroscience Nurses Week!

Neuroscience Nurses Week is celebrated in the third full week of May each year as recognized by the specialty's national representative organizations AANN, ABNN, and NNF. Please join us in observing this special week dedicated to those caring for the most vulnerable patients and families by engaging in recognition and celebratory activities at your institution.

Neuroscience Nurses Week celebrates the work of neuroscience nurses as well as highlights their influence on patient care to hospital administrators, allied health professionals, and the community. Invite greater recognition of the impact of neuroscience nursing care through internal and external special events during this designated week. Special events increase exposure and heighten awareness of the contributions neuroscience nurses make year-round. View helpful ideas for creating your own NWW Celebration.

The week following Neuroscience Nurses Week, send out post-event news releases with photos to internal newsletters/publications and the local media, post photos on a prominent bulletin board in your facility, send "thank you" letters to all who assisted, and submit your ideas and/or success stories to Lori Barker at lbarker@aann.org for inclusion in Synapse E-News.

We look forward to hearing and sharing your stories about Neuroscience Nurses Week, and, most importantly, celebrating your devotion to the patients and families we all care for so dearly.
