National Nurses Week May 6-12th National Nurses Week gives us an opportunity to publicly thank our nurses and let them know that we are proud to be here with them as they make a difference to others every single day. They are a blessing for patients and it is a blessing to have them in our work place. Why are nurses so special? Here are just a few reasons why nurses are truly amazing. ~Selflessness. Nurses give so much of themselves to others every single day. ~Passion. Nurses are passionate about what they do, which explains why they work hours others wouldn t consider working, including evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. ~Compassion. The spirit of caring for others extends beyond nurses patients to encompass their co-workers, the organization, and the entire community. They come in early. They stay late. They trade shifts so others can attend important family events. They give, give, give. ~Connecting with patients. Caring for patients involves more than caring for their physical well-being. It s not unusual for nurses to do extraordinary things for patients, like celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, bringing a Christmas gift to a patient who has no family, and many other thoughtful acts that contribute immeasurably to the overall patient experience. ~Sharing. Whether at the beginning of life or at the end, or anywhere in between, nurses are there to share the most important milestones with their patients as well as some of their toughest days. Revitalize your hair s health with ANAPHASE Cream Shampoo. This stimulating shampoo is the perfect complement for anti-hair loss treatments. It restores volume and vigor to thinning, fine or weak hair.

MetueraNulla commy nim alit Cinco de Mayo or the fifth of May commemorates the Mexican army s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War ( ). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican- American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States.

5 Ud exeraessisi. MetueraNulla commy nim alit TITLE 5 5 Compression Hose Therapy Advantages of wearing them on long flights.. Armed Forces Day May 21 Armed Forces Day was first observed in May 1950 to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard following the consolidation of the military services in the U.S. Department of Defense. Although Armed Forces Day 2015 isn t one of the 10 federally designated federal holidays, it is still an important day on the calendar. One of three days set aside to celebrate and commemorate the armed forces, veterans, and those who died in the service of America, this day celebrates those who now serve in the military. Memorial Day, the last Monday of May, commemorates those who died serving America. November 11th is Veteran s Day and commemorates both the end of World War I and pays tribute to veterans. If you are a frequent flyer, you ve probably heard about DVT, short for Deep Vein Thrombosis. DVT is a blood clot in the deep larger veins, usually occuring in the legs. If the blood clot dislodges from the vein wall and moves through the venous system, it could eventually block a vein in the heart, brain or lungs. This could pose a danger to your health, so help reduct your risk of DVT by following a few simple precautions - one of which is to wear compression garments. Compress stockings and socks provide external support to the vein walls, which creates good blood flow and helps minimize and control leg and ankle swelling. Other precautions to follow: ~do not sit or stand for long periods of time ~do not smoke or consume excessive amount of alcohol Footer message
