National Nurses Week 2026

We’re excited to kick off National Nurses Week 2026! This year the American Nurses Enterprise will continue to shine a light on The Power of Nurses™. It is an honor to celebrate the 5,000,000+ nurses across the country, recognize the invaluable contributions nurses make in healthcare and our lives while addressing the real-life challenges they face every day and advocating on their behalf.

This year as the Association celebrates our 130th Anniversary as America celebrates it’s 250th, we are extra excited to play a role in elevating nurse voices, stories, awareness, engagement and local celebrations in coordination with sponsors and partners across the country. But first, as you start planning for your NNW celebrations in May, please download the digital toolkit created to help you celebrate #ThePowerOfNurses, amplify success in your state, with press, in the community, in social and honoring them where they work – in places of practice.

Introducing the 2026 National Nurses Week Toolkit

Download the 2026 National Nurses Week Digital Toolkit to help you celebrate nurses and elevate your engagement efforts locally. It is filled with customizable resources and marketing assets, guidance, and activation ideas that are designed to drive awareness and meaningful results.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE:

• Guidance for pitching stories to press
• How to create a declaration and reach local politicians
• Social media assets
• Customizable and printable posters, thank you cards and certificates of appreciation
• How to advocate for lighting up a landmark near you
• Paths to uplevel local events

Nurses Light Up the Sky 2026

Nurses Light Up the Sky is a beautiful way to honor nurses, drive awareness among the wider community, create press opportunities, encourage social sharing, and the lit landmarks serve as perfect destinations for local meet ups and activation during National Nurses Week.

Last year we illuminated 205 buildings in honor of nurses during National Nurses Week. This year we’re planning to light up even more – and you can help! If you have suggestions for buildings, landmarks, monuments or healthcare hubs in your state – please let us know by emailing us at NursesWeek@ana.org. We hope to see and share your pictures and celebrations in May – use the hashtags: #ThePowerOfNurses and #NursesLightUpTheSky and you might see yourself on some of our pages!
