National Nurses Week 2025 is just around the corner and this year the American Nurses Enterprise will be shining a light on The Power of Nurses™. We recognize the invaluable contributions of nurses worldwide and the real-life challenges they face every day. Whether you're a nurse, a healthcare professional, a patient, or simply someone who appreciates the critical role nurses play in our lives and society, National Nurses Week is the perfect time to share your gratitude and celebrate nurses.
With exciting opportunities to engage, contribute, share your stories, activate locally, and elevate #ThePowerOfNurses, we hope you will consider participating in some or all of American Nurses Enterprise planned activities. More details will be coming soon about the Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation™ Wellness Challenge, how to enter the National Nurses Week Getaway Giveaway Sweepstakes with a $4500 grand prize, and the list of where we will Light Up the Sky to celebrate nurses. Right now you can register for a webinar, support nurses with a donation through the American Nurses Foundation and download the toolkit to empower your National Nurses Week celebrations.

Last year we illuminated 85 buildings across the country in honor of nurses during National Nurses Week. This year our goal is to light up 100 buildings and you can help! If you have suggestions for buildings, landmarks, monuments or healthcare hubs in your state – please let us know by emailing us at NursesWeek@ana.org.
Lighting up the sky is a beautiful way to honor nurses, drive awareness among the wider community, create press opportunities, encourage social sharing, and the lit l landmarks serve as perfect destinations for local meet ups and activation during National Nurses Week. We hope to see and share your pictures and celebrations in May – please use the hashtags: #ThePowerOfNurses and #NursesLightUpTheSky
