The American Nurses Enterprise (ANE) is thrilled to celebrate National Nurses Week 2026, recognizing the invaluable contributions nurses make in healthcare and our lives while addressing the real-life challenges they face every day.

This year, as the American Nurses Association (ANA) celebrates our 130th Anniversary, we are honored to play a key role in elevating nurse voices, stories, awareness, engagement, and local celebrations in coordination with sponsors and partners.

Light Up the Sky for Nurses Week

Nurses Light Up the Sky is not only a beautiful way to honor nurses it drives awareness among the general public and a wider community that can generate interest, local press stories, social sharing, a destination for meet ups, and pride among nurses during National Nurses Week.

Last year American Nurses Enterprise illuminated 206 buildings in honor of nurses during National Nurses Week. This year we’re planning to light up more – and you can help! If you have suggestions for buildings, landmarks, monuments and/or healthcare hubs in your state – please let us know by emailing us at NursesWeek@ana.org.

We hope to see and share some of your pictures and celebrations this May! Don't forget to use the hashtags: #ThePowerOfNurses and #NursesLightUpTheSky
