National Nurses Week is May 6-12. For Samaritan’s nurses, the week features a celebration of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, along with ice cream social events, gaming activities, and a dinner to honor staff who’ve worked at the hospital for many years.

Dawe says Samaritan is focused on resiliency and opportunity and is looking to expand nurses’ futures with leadership roles, educational opportunities, and the use of new technologies.
