A special Nursing Week supplement will be distributed as part of the Winnipeg Free Press this Wednesday in an effort to help promote Nursing Week taking place the following week.Events will take place in worksites and in communities throughout the province as we mark this annual celebration. The purpose of Nursing Week is to raise awareness about the many contributions registered nursing makes to the well-being of Manitobans. It also provides an opportunity to educate Manitobans about important health issues, to share information they need to make good decisions about their health, and to promote the critical role of registered nurses in our health system. Nursing Week coincides with the birthday of nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale on May 12th.
