"Building relationships with nurses and health care professionals is the major highlight of my job," said Denise Tanner, Business Development Manager at HealthCareerWeb.com.

Our hope is that this promotion will shed light on some otherwise unnoticed nursing stories and educate the community at large about the vital tasks performed by nurses every day."

National Nurses Week was first observed in October 1954 on a single day. In 1974, the day moved to May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, widely credited as the founder of modern nursing. In 1990, National Nurses Day became a week-long celebration now known as National Nurses Week.
