Nurses continually care for patients they’ve never met before, spend countless hours on their feet, and rarely receive a thank you. ICON Medical Network would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of the nurses out there and all the hard work they do to continue saving lives.
The American Nurses Association has designed 2017 as the “Year of the Healthy Nurse”. Each month, ANA is highlighting various health, safety, and wellness topics to help nurses achieve their best health ever.
“Our focus on improving the health of America’s nurses goes beyond self-care,” said ANA President Pamela F. Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN in a press release. “Every time a nurse interacts with a patient, he or she has an opportunity to be a role model for good health. And a healthy nurse is more likely to talk to a patient about how to get healthy, and is more credible when promoting those behaviors. That’s how nurses can help change the health of America.”
Here’s a rundown of some national perks, giveaways and discounts just for nurses this week:
