Celebrating Nightingale 2020 Bicentenary

Nursing Week – May 11-17, 2020 

This is truly a celebration of Nurses at this time and we should praise and support each other. May 12th is Nightingale’s birthday and there are articles and praises coming in to acknowledge Nightingale. Though many activities have been postponed it is hopeful to extend throughout the year.

In Collaboration with Dr. Lynn McDonald Professor Emerita

Lynn is an author of several books on Nightingale-most recently; Florence Nightingale, Nursing, and Health Care Today and the Collected Works of Nightingale. She is also a climate activist, prison reformer and former Member of Parliament. You can connect with her for more information on Nightingale in Backgrounders at www.nightingalesociety.com. She is cofounder and current chair of The Nightingale Society and has been a great support and inspiration to us throughout the last year. We do connect with her and other nursing colleagues from California and Ohio on a regular basis- sharing ideas on how best to recognize and promote Nightingale.
