National Nurses Week, May 6-12, recognizes nurses for their service and dedication to caring for others and improving the health of patients. This year’s theme “Nurses Make the Difference” works to honor exceptional nurses that embody both compassion and care in the healthcare setting. Nurses provide care through every stage of life and work with patients at their most intimate and vulnerable moments.
Reducing the risk of infection is essential for improving positive health outcomes in every health care setting and for every patient. The South Dakota Project Firstline (SD PFL) program provides infection prevention support and guidance to the health care team and recognizes the value of nurses within the healthcare workforce.
