ACR 161 (Lowenthal) - As Amended: May 3, 2010
SUBJECT : California Nurses Week 2010.
SUMMARY : Proclaims May 9 through 15 as California Nurses Week
2010, in recognition of the contributions that nurses have made
to improve the health and safety of all Californians and to
express deep appreciation to all of the state's nurses during
that week and throughout the years to come. Specifically, this
resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)The California Nurses Association was founded in 1903, as the
first organization to represent nurses in California; and over
the 107 years, California nurses have achieved lifesaving
gains in patient care and patient safety conditions for all
Californians through sponsored legislation, public regulation,
and collective action in patient care settings.
2)Nationally, May 6 through 12 is recognized as National Nurses
Week 2010; and nurses working in all areas of health care in
California will commemorate May 9 through 15 as California
Nurses Week 2010, in celebration of the many ways all nurses
provide safe, high-quality patient care and patient services.
