National Nurses Day is observed annually on May 6.  This is the first day in a week that is celebrated nationally to recognize the service and commitments of our nurses, and the vital role they play in our society.  This week concludes on the birthday of Florence Nightingale which is May 12. Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech would like to thank our alumni in this profession and all the nurses in our community for their endless commitment and care.

From all of the faculty and staff at Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech, we encourage our community to reach out to our local nurses and share your gratitude.  The people in these professions are the ones whom directly care for you and your loved ones during your times of need.  The nature of their jobs requires a passion, preparation and perseverance that we admire.  In the midst of the most trying circumstances, we commend all our nurses for rising to the occasion and demonstrating the adaptability, sacrifice and strength that one needs in this vocation.
