National Nursing Week 2026
Monday May 11 to Sunday May 17, Celebrating the vital contributions of nurses across Canada.
This year’s theme is The Power of Nurses to Transform Health.
Celebrate with us and acknowledge how nursing leadership and expertise have a lasting impact on health care in Canada.
At NANS, we are proud to continue this national celebration by recognizing nurses across Nova Scotia who are transforming health every day.
To mark Nursing Week, we are hosting two $100 gift card draws as a way to say thank you and celebrate the power of nursing.
- One draw is open to any nurse who participates by recognizing a nurse or sharing how nurses are transforming health. [Click here to register]
- One draw is reserved for new NANS members who join during Nursing Week. [Click here to register]
We invite nurses and colleagues across the province to take part, celebrate one another, and help shine a spotlight on the impact nurses have on individuals, communities, and our health system.
