Our officer, civilian, and enlisted service member's dedication and commitment to that profession is something that always leaves me impressed, awed and proud," said Col. Jason S. Wieman, Commander of the Weed Army Community Hospital speaking to the audience Friday, May. 6, 2016 during the opening celebration of National Nurses Week on Fort Irwin. The week starts with National Nurses Day on May, 6 and ends with the International Nurses Day, Thursday, May 12. Throughout the week the eyes of the Fort Irwin community are on WACH nurses and the importance of their work in support of National Training Center (NTC) Soldiers and their families. Efforts to recognize the role of nurses in our nation's healthcare system began in 1982, when the American Nurses Association (ANA) Board of Directors formally acknowledged May 6, 1982 as "National Nurses Day." In 1993 the ANA Board designated May 6 - 12, as lasting dates to observe National Nurses Week to culminate on the yearly observance of the birthday of Florence Nightingale.
