Nurses Station is dedicated to offering nurses and other healthcare professionals quality scrubs at an affordable price. To ensure that we are offering the scrubs that healthcare professionals like best, we have created a brief survey. Help us provide you with the lines of scrubs that you are looking for by filling out our survey. We will add styles, brands and sizes to our scrubs collection based on your answers.
Nurses Station invites you to participate in a survey about scrubs. This questionnaire will only take a few moments of your time, and will help us provide you with the scrubs you are looking for.
Should you take this survey, we will not sell the data collected and we will not contact you.
I came across a nursing video on YouTube and thought it was something that our readers would enjoy. The clip is called Angels on Earth, Part 1. It’s a short clip but the message is powerful. It demonstrates the incredible role nurses play in providing help, hope and miracles to the tiniest patients and their families.
Nurses Station says “caps off and heartfelt thanks to all NICU nurses.”

The Presidential Election is fast approaching. Every politician has the ability to impact your career and the state of health care in this country. Have you chosen a candidate? Do you know your candidates views on nursing legislation or health care issues? The AMA-PAC (American Nurses Association – Political Action Committee), working hard to ensure the quality of nurse’s professional lives and patient care, issued a questionnaire to all Presidential candidates about policy issues that impact nursing and health care.
I saw a blog post today from a fashion designer. His daughter is bulimic. He has come to the realization that he, and the industry he represents, is a major contributing factor not only to his daughter’s illness, but to eating disorders of women around the world. He reviewed his own history and that of other designers and saw that each year he and others in the fashion industry have trended towards thinner and thinner models, so now their clothing is displayed on women that resemble hangers more than human beings. I realize that this is not an “issue” about nursing, however I think that all woman can relate to struggles with body image and appearance, and I am sure that most healthcare professionals have seen the devastating effects that anorexia and bulimia have had on patients and their families.
How sad is it that we can not embrace the women we are, whatever our size or shape, and feel it necessary to strive for someone else’s ideals for “perfection”? How many people, friends, family members or patients, have died or come to the brink of death when their struggle to be the “ideal size” took over their lives?
My message for the day: Love yourself.
Tomorrow’s subject – The Presidential candidates and nursing.
Although proposals had been sent to President Eisenhower in 1953, and submitted to the US Congress in 1955, it was January of 1974 when the International Council of Nurses proclaimed that May 12th, Florence Nightingale’s Birthday, would be “International Nurse Day.”
In February of 1974, the White House designated that there would be a National Nurse Week and President Nixon signed a proclamation.
In 1978, New Jersey Governor Brendon Byrne declared May 6th as “Nurses Day” and New Jersey resident Edward Scanlon took up the cause to perpetuate the recognition of nurses in his state.
There were other triumphs along the way, and in 1982 the ANA Board of Directors formally acknowledged May 6th 1982 as National Nurses Day. This action affirmed a joint resolution of the US Congress that designated May 6th as “National Recognition Day for Nurses.”
President Reagan signed that proclamation.In 1991 The ANA Board of Directors chose to expand the recognition of nurses to a week-long celebration. In 1993 they designated May 6th-12 as the permanent dates that National Nurses Week would be observed each year.
May 6th - National RN Recognition Day
May 8th - National Student Nurses Day
