National Nurses Day is the first day of National Nursing Week, which concludes on Florence Nightingale’s birth anniversary on May 12. Yet the week was first observed in the US in October 1954 to mark the 100th anniversary of Nightingale’s pioneering work in Crimea.

After the first celebration in the year 1954, a new bill was introduced to Congress lobbying for official recognition of the celebration. Twenty years later, in February 1974, President Nixon proclaimed a National Nurse Week to be celebrated annually in May. Over the next eight years, various nursing organizations including the American Nurses Association (ANA) rallied to support calls for a “National Recognition Day for Nurses” on May 6, which was eventually proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1982.
