HUMBOLDT COUNTY, Ca (KIEM) – Today is National Nurse Day and as communities work through this pandemic, nurses are prominent front line workers to recognize.

National Nurse Day kicks-off National Nurse Week which ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday.

Nightingale was a British nurse born in the 1800’s, and most consider her to be the founder of modern day nursing.

We visited Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata and spoke to Nurse Manager of Critical Care Services Tina Wood who said today is about recognition for nurses who continue to provide care to anybody who needs it.
