Nurses Week 2023: Nursing is who we are

Short video features a nurse or nurses from across the Defense Health Agency representing their military hospital or clinic, responding to the prompt of what nursing means to them. This video is shared to make ready-made content available as part of the celebration of National Nurses Week 2023. During National Nurses Week (May 6-12) and throughout the month of May, the Defense Health Agency will tell the story of military medicine through the lens of nurses working across military health care.

Our 2023 Nurses Week theme “Nurses Make a Difference: Anytime, Anywhere – Always” honors the unwavering commitment of DHA nurses to their patients, and the value they provide to the integrated health care team in accomplishing the mission of improving health and building readiness.

If this video is used on a social media platform, please tag #nursesweek.

Suggested social media message for related video: “Nursing is not what you do, it’s who we are, and it’s about doing our best to take care of our patients. #nursesweek #DHAnurses”
