National Nurses Month 2026: How Team Select Celebrates Nurses

Mark your calendars! May is National Nurses Month and its the 130th anniversary of its founding. This is a special time dedicated to recognizing the compassion, expertise, and impact of nurses across the country.

National Nurses Week takes place each year from May 6–12, honoring Florence Nightingale’s legacy and the vital role nurses play in healthcare.

But at Team Select Home Care, we believe one week isn’t enough; so we celebrate all month long.

As we approach National Nurses Month 2026, we’re proud to recognize the incredible Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) who represent the very heart of our mission.

From the quiet living rooms of pediatric patients to the everyday environments of adult care, our nurses bring more than clinical skill; they bring compassion, consistency, and the #TeamSelectDifference.

Why We Celebrate Nurses All Month Long

Nursing is more than a profession… it’s a true calling.

Across the U.S., millions of nurses make up the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, providing essential care every day.

At Team Select, we focus on the “why” behind that care.

Whether it’s:

  1. Helping a medically complex child remain safely at home
  2. Supporting families through life-changing diagnoses
  3. Being a consistent presence during uncertain moments

Our nurses are advocates, educators, and trusted partners in care.

Why Home Health Nurses Deserve Special Recognition

While nurses across all settings make an impact, home health nurses bring something uniquely powerful to patient care.

Through one-on-one support, consistent routines, and meaningful relationships, private duty nurses help patients thrive in the place they feel most comfortable… at home.

This level of care allows for:

  1. Personalized attention
  2. Stronger patient-family relationships
  3. Improved continuity and stability
  4. Greater clinical awareness in real-time environments

It’s not just care, it’s connection.
