North Brunswick, N.J. — Nurses are known for the Care, Comfort and Compassion that they share every day with their patients, their co-workers, and their local communities.

In celebration of Nurses Week, May 6-12, JNESO District Council 1 IUOE-AFL-CIO, the professional health care union, is asking for your help to recognize the more than 165,000 nurses in New Jersey.

“Now is the time to really shine the spotlight on how incredibly resilient, dedicated, and selfless nurses are, and how critically important their roles are for patients and their families in all healthcare settings,” said Elfrieda Johnson, President of JNESO, which serves some 5,000 nurses and techs in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “We hope that the public joins our campaign to say ‘Thank You’ to our nurses.”

Here is how you can get involved:

• Say “Thank You” on JNESO’s social media pages using the hashtag #JNESONurses. Facebook @JNESO; Twitter @JNESODC!; Instagram @jneso_districtcouncil1
