Help us recognize exceptional care this National Nursing Week
National Nursing Week (May 6–12, 2025) is a time to honour the dedication, skill, and compassion that nurses bring to their work every day—whether at the bedside, in community health, emergency care, education, long-term care, or countless other settings across Newfoundland and Labrador.
This year, the Registered Nurses’ Union Newfoundland & Labrador (RNUNL) is inviting members of the public to help us shine a light on nurses who go above and beyond.
Do you know a nurse who made a lasting impact on your life or the life of someone you love?
Whether it was a moment of comfort in a difficult time, tireless advocacy, or a quiet act of compassion that meant the world—we want to hear about it.
We’ll be selecting and sharing a series of nurse spotlights during National Nursing Week, featuring stories from across the province. These recognitions will appear on our website, social media, and in our InTouch digital magazine.
Nomination Deadline: Sunday, April 28, 2025

Why It Matters
Nurses are there during life’s most vulnerable, joyful, and uncertain moments. They are often the steady hand and calm voice guiding patients through care. By nominating a nurse, you’re helping us celebrate that impact—and remind nurses across the province that their work is seen and valued.
