The welcoming of a New Year is always an exciting, hopeful and joyous time for me; however, this New Year, in particular, is extra special.

The year 2020 has been declared “The Year of the Nurse and Midwife” by the World Health Organization (WHO). In celebration of the nursing profession – and in honor of the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth – 2020 will be all about advancing nurses’ vital position in transforming global healthcare.

Recognizing that nurses are the ‘bridge of healthcare,’ connecting patients and communities with today’s complex healthcare system, the WHO is spearheading “The Year of the Nurse” as part of a larger WHO initiative to help bring more adequate healthcare to everyone, everywhere.

Following suit, the American Nurses Association Enterprise (ANA) is also promoting 2020 as the Year of the Nurse. Throughout 2020, the ANA has said it will be encouraging inclusivity and participation of all nurses in this landmark year of activities.

If you are a nursing caregiver, I encourage you to ring in the New Year by embracing the many opportunities ahead to engage with other nurses and healthcare leaders, encourage innovation, foster environments of quality and safety, and promote nursing excellence. Happy Year of the Nurse!

It’s About time that it’s about us, right? Glad to see the ANA stepping up as well. Let’s celebrate and encourage our own.
