Here are some facts about the nurses that tend to you when you're sick -- and the week that celebrates them:) 

How many nurses are there in the US?

  • There are more than 4 million registered nurses in the US, says the American Nursing Association.

How did Nurses Week originate?

  • There were several attempts to recognize nurses annually. But it wasn't until 1993 that the American Nursing Association permanently designed a National Nurses Week to "celebrate and elevate the nursing profession." 

How respected is nursing as a profession?

  • For more than 15 years, Americans have rated nursing as the no. 1 most-trusted profession, says Gallup. In a poll conducted last year, Gallup found that 84% of those surveyed rated the honesty and ethical standards of nurses as "very high" or "high" -- above that of doctors, pharmacists and teachers.
