NURSING, NOT JUST THE STANDARD OF CARE. THE HEART OF HEALTHCARE. Honoring National Nurses Week | May 6–12 April 21, 2026

To the nurses who never stop learning, leading, and caring: We see you. Your expertise cannot be overstated, and your impact is immeasurable. Happy Nurses Week from all of us at NCC.

Whether at a hospital, clinic, home, long-term care facility, or patient transport, we depend on knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate professionals. Nurses are committed to giving safe, high-quality care no matter what the setting, and it is important for the public to know they can trust those caring for them and their loved ones during their most vulnerable times.

Nurses are the foremost providers of care throughout the health care system. . . . Nurses certified in their clinical specialties serve as agents of change and advocates of best practice for the patients they serve. 
--Robin L. Bissinger, PhD, APRN, NNP-BC, FAAN, NCC Chief Executive Officer

NCC honors all nurses and is exceptionally pleased to recognize all of those who have demonstrated their expertise in their field by becoming certified.
