Designating February 5, 2004, as "Nurses' Day".
Whereas, Nurses play a vital role in health care in West
Virginia by being at the forefront of our medical needs and working
hand in hand with physicians to provide medical care prescribed for
the betterment of patients; and
Whereas, As citizens we are trusting of our nurses, whose
knowledge and expertise in medicine, along with their care and
compassion for the patients they serve, help us to feel at ease
with the medical treatments we may be receiving; and
Whereas, Without the cautious assessments and accurate
documentation of nurses, physicians would be unable to adequately
perform their duties; and
Whereas, Nurses are loyal to the Nightingale Pledge, which
states in part, "With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician
in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to
my care"; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby designates February 5, 2004, as
"Nurses' Day"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Senate hereby recognizes the
valuable service nurses perform as health care professionals to the
citizens of West Virginia; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the appropriate representatives of the
nursing profession.
