Nurses Week 2026: Celebrating The Power of Nurses™
May 6–12, 2026
Nurses Week 2026 is almost here, and this year’s national theme—The Power of Nurses™—beautifully reflects the strength, compassion, and expertise that define our profession. Beginning May 6 and culminating on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, this week honors the extraordinary impact nurses make across every setting of care.
At the New Jersey League for Nursing, we proudly celebrate all nurses—from the bedside to the classroom, from community health to leadership roles, from advanced practice to the boardroom. As the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, nurses shape the future of health through their knowledge, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to those they serve.
This Nurses Week, we honor your courage, your voice, and your vision. You are innovators, educators, caregivers, and leaders. You elevate the profession through every interaction, every decision, and every act of compassion. Your power is felt in every corner of healthcare, and your influence continues to guide the next generation of nurses.
Thank you for all you do—and all you inspire. The NJLN celebrates you today and every day.
