Abstract
Abstract In May, we will once again celebrate nursing and nurses. Our annual Nurses Week celebration coincides with the birth month of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern secular nursing. I believe that during this period of rapid change, it is particularly important that we remain centered on, make visible, and celebrate the core values of nursing. Florence Nightingale provided us with a framework, relevant today, for speaking explicitly about our values and the essential features of nursing. Florence Nightingale provided us with a framework, relevant today, for speaking explicitly about our values and the essential features of nursing.
