Celebrating Our Nurses

Nursing Week annually falls during the second week of May, coinciding with Florence Nightingale’s birthday on May 12th, in recognition of the dedication and achievements of nursing professionals. Nurses make up the largest group of employees at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and Nursing Week (May 10-16) provides an opportunity to recognize their clinical excellence and their ability to care for patients with compassion and professionalism.

Nurses are vital to TBRHSC’s front line response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to their direct patient care roles, many have taken on additional duties and responsibilities to help protect the health and safety of the community. For example, nurses are leading the testing at our COVID-19 Assessment Centre, administering hundreds of COVID-19 vaccines every day to Hospital staff and members of the community, and learning new and advanced skills to support our pandemic response.

Join us in thanking our nurses for their incredible contribution to positive patient outcomes.
