Today marks the start of National Nurses Week and the Guam National Guard is recognizing the contribution nurses make to our local military and our community.
In recognition of their service the Guard has issued a ‘thank you’ to all local nurses who also serve for giving of themselves to our community and our Nation.
National Nurses week begins Wednesday, May 6th, and end on May 12th, which is the birthday of the original founder of modern nursing Florence Nightingale.
