WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join members of the Texas Nurses Association and other nursing
organizations in celebrating Nurse Day at the State Capitol on
February 28, 2023; and
WHEREAS, Approximately 400,000 certified nursing
assistants, licensed vocational nurses, registered nurses, and
advanced-practice registered nurses care for Texans each day in
hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, home health agencies,
schools, and other settings, and their dedication and expertise
are vital to the quality of health care in the state; and
WHEREAS, Nurses bravely fought the COVID-19 pandemic and
protected the health of Texans at great risk and often expense to
their personal safety; and
WHEREAS, Each year, the Gallup Poll rates nurses as the
highest-ranked professionals with respect to honesty and ethical
standards, and across the medical profession, they uphold a
mission of promoting excellence in patient care, both at the
bedside and in the public arena; and
WHEREAS, Through their deep commitment to honor the health
and well-being of their patients and their advocacy of quality
health care, Texas nurses have earned the lasting respect,
admiration, and appreciation of their fellow citizens; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby recognize February 28, 2023, as Nurse Day at
the State Capitol and commend all Texas nurses on their
invaluable service to the Lone Star State; and, be it further
