Nurses celebrate their profession
Nurses across the state were honored throughout May, which includes
National Nurses Week.
About 50 nurses attended a competency fair at Buffalo Psychiatric Center May
10-12. They practiced their clinical competency doing various procedures
such as blood draws.
Refreshments and door prizes topped off the festivities.
The Manhattan Psychiatric Center celebrated May 4 with a dinner for the
nurses. About 150 nurses attended the event and were treated to tote bags
from PEF Division 267. Each nurse also received a proclamation from the
hospital.
At the Bernard M Fineson Developmental Disabilities Services Office, 58
nurses celebrated their profession May 19 with a video of Florence
Nightingale’s Commemorative Global Service in conjunction with their theme
of “Unity, Transformation and the Role of Nurses Worldwide.”
They were presented with a copy of the bestseller “Three Cups of Tea” by
Greg Mortenson, RN, for their department’s library. They also received pins
from PEF Region 11.
