Embrace Action: Celebrate Perioperative Nurse Week and Thanksgiving

For many, autumn entails the beginning of school, football games, fall colors, and many personal celebrations and events. Two of the events we can celebrate this month are Perioperative Nurse Week (PNW) and Thanksgiving. Although the former is a professional celebration and the latter is more of a family celebration, both are recognized by communities across the nation. These celebrations have the common focus of group recognition and an acknowledgment of gratitude. The tribute to perioperative nurses creates the opportunity to share with the community the value brought to health care by this group of nurses.
