President Barack Obama expresses his appreciation for federal nurses as the country is recognizing their skills, dedication, and professionalism during the Federal Nurses Week Sept. 22-28.
“From holding a hand to offering a voice of calm, nurses routinely engage in acts of compassion without fanfare,” writes President Obama in a Sept. 24 message. “And through long nights and late shifts, they serve families when they are most vulnerable and carry forward the vital work of ensuring our people receive the care they deserve.”
