NORWAY In honor of International Nurses Week, Stephens Memorial Hospital has used the last several days to shine a light of appreciation on its entire nursing staff. Given the strains put on frontline health workers over the last year as they uniformly fought against the pandemic, it is particularly important in 2021 to thank them.
“It’s been a tradition for many years to celebrate the week,” said Margaret Burns, RN PhD and SMH’s Chief Nursing Officer. “I’ve been at the hospital for six years and it’s near and dear to my heart. We have expanded a bit beyond nurses to the whole nursing staff.”
