Sponsored By: Representative Joyce, David P. [R-OH-14]
Introduced
Summary
Recognizing and supporting nurses by backing National Nurses Week from May 6 through May 12, 2026 is the resolution's goal. It would express support for the American Nurses Association's week and highlight nurses' roles on the front lines, as patient advocates, and as leaders in research and public health. The resolution notes the nursing workforce includes more than 5 million registered nurses and that higher nurse staffing reduces complications and short hospital stays, saving money. It calls for stronger nursing workforce development, more doctorally prepared faculty, support for post-baccalaureate nursing pathways, and more nurse researchers, and it encourages Americans to observe the week with ceremonies and programs.
