Thank You Nurses!

This May 6th through 12th, join CUPE Nova Scotia in celebrating Nursing Week and thanking our hard-working health care team.

Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses, Continuing Care Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners are the backbone of our health care system, working in home support, long term care, community care centres, and hospitals.

Thank you to the nursing team for being where we need you and providing the amazing service we have come to know.


Nursing Week celebrations take place during the same week as Florence Nightingale’s birthday, on May 12th, each year.

Listen to the radio ad below, which will run on stations province-wide all week.

Happy Nursing Week to our colleagues and friends in the Nova Scotia Government Employees Union, and the Nova Scotia Nurses Union!
