Let's Hear It for Nurses

It's National Nurses Week, a celebration aimed at raising awareness about the value of nursing and the role they play in bettering health care for all Americans. Join us in thanking the nearly 3.1 million registered nurses nationwide – including many CWA nurses – for all the critical work they do 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
