Celebrating our nurses: Award-winning care Each year, the health care industry recognizes the essential work of nurses during National Nurses Week, held May 6 to 12 in honor of Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Nightingale is renowned as the founder of modern nursing. At RMC, we salute our nurses this year and every year for their incredible dedication and tireless work in caring for those who come to our facilities. The 2018 awards were presented to four nurses who were nominated because of their extraordinary commitment to excellence. Congratulations to these nurses!
