2021 Washington State Nurses Convention
Online April 28-29
In 2019, the World Health Organization named 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife — meant to celebrate the 200th birthday of Florence Nightingale and highlight the importance of nurses and midwives. But 2020 widely became known as the Year of the Nurse for other reasons: the innumerable and enormous sacrifices nurses have made during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nurses do what nobody else will do, in ways nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through. We are strong, but we need each other to help us keep going. During this year’s Washington State Nurses Convention, we hope nurses across Washington state will feel connected to and supported by others who have also felt the heavy weight of the pandemic on their shoulders.
By attending this year’s convention, we hope you will feel better equipped to lead change, improve health and just keep going in 2021.
