Revitalizing Nurses' Week celebration
Article Abstract:
Celebration of National Nurses' Week was revitalized at a community hospital in southwestern Pennsylvania by a community service project. Nurses collected items needed by residents of a local women's shelter for domestic violence victims and participated in a Habitat for Humanity project. These activities were rated as the most satisfying part of Nurses' Week by 75% of the nurses. The appeal to nurses' altruism and involvement of staff early in the project contributed to the project's success.
