Happy National Nursing Week 2026

May 11 – May 17, 2026

At NHI, we are proud to celebrate National Nursing Week as we recognize and honour the extraordinary dedication, compassion and professionalism of nurses across our communities. This annual celebration coincides with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, whose legacy continues to inspire nursing excellence around the world.

We extend our sincere appreciation to every nurse for your unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional care to patients, clients, families and long-term care residents each and every day.

Whether providing care at the bedside, supporting learning in the classroom, advocating in leadership roles or serving clients in the community, nurses continue to play a vital role in improving health outcomes and strengthening healthcare systems across Canada and beyond.

Your knowledge, resilience, empathy and leadership make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many. NHI is proud to work alongside such dedicated professionals who embody excellence in nursing practice and personal care.

During this special week, we celebrate you and thank you for the incredible impact you make every day.

Happy National Nursing Week from all of us at NHI!
