Med-Surg Nurses Week

Thank you to everyone that celebrated #MedSurgNursesWeek with us this year! Med-Surg Nurses Week is celebrated every year from November 1-7.  Med-Surg Nurses Week is an opportunity to celebrate the medical-surgical nurses who work relentlessly to provide their patients with quality care, comfort, and compassion. We look forward to celebrating again in 2025.

Ways to Celebrate

Throughout the week, we encourage you to host celebrations for your colleagues and celebrate the hard work you do throughout the year. Some ideas include:

  • Hold celebration raffles and give out prizes
  • Create "Why I Am Med-Surg" posters to hang in your hospital
  • Incorporate a fun theme for the week
  • Games for patients and their families
  • Host a potluck, staff breakfast, lunch or ice cream social
