    We will continue updating the site in the coming weeks with exciting opportunities, including the Getaway Giveaway Sweepstakes, the Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation (HNHN) Gratitude, Growth, and Go 1-5-5 Challenge, a 25% discount on select Certification and Certification Prep products, and a dynamic social wall featuring community-generated content.

    This year, we are launching first of its kind live events in coordination and collaboration with the Membership Engagement team, C/SNAs and hospitals in Bethesda, MD, Dallas, TX and Tampa, FL. We are also elevating and supporting more than a dozen additional local events by providing The Power of Nurses™ bracelets, baseball hats, and goody. Please find the week- at-a-glance attached. 

    In addition to the three webinars, engaging HNHN content, influencer campaigns, sweepstakes, and giveaways, we will be lighting over 100 landmarks, monuments, and buildings nationwide in honor of nurses (103 and counting to date), including:

    • May 6: Niagara Falls will be lighting up for 15 minutes at 10:45 p.m.  New York plans to do field trip and capture pictures.
    • May 6: Bank of America Plaza in Dallas, TX. A group picture scheduled after a live event that evening.
    • May 7: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH.
    • 20 hospitals in South Carolina have been secured through the South Carolina Nurses Association.
    • 9 monuments in Tampa, FL from Bay Care, including the Tampa Riverwalk, where they will be distributing ice cream to nurses.

    If you have a building, hospital that lights up and/or monument that you would like to recommend, please email us at NursesWeek@ana.org. We can also provide a full list of requests made. 

    This is a real team effort, and we are grateful to each and every one of you as we celebrate National Nurses Week and #ThePowerOfNurses.
