National Nurses Week: A thank-you letter to nurses
Dear Nurses,
Thank you. Now and always, your selfless work is appreciated. Being a nurse always has its unique pressures, and right now, your job is remarkably demanding and undeniably exhausting.
During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, you are facing extreme challenges that few people alive have ever witnessed, let alone dealt with directly every day. You’re making sacrifices to continue caring for some of the most vulnerable people, and we are incredibly grateful.
We’re here for you regardless of what you’re facing. That’s why WellSky and the WellSky Foundation are raising funds to deliver medical-grade, washable, and reusable face masks to healthcare providers, along with nutritious meals to frontline workers.
WellSky is also proactively creating unmatched, free educational content to help nurses like you through this incredibly difficult time. You can access WellSky’s COVID-19 Resource Center online, 24/7 here. It’s our job to make yours easier, and we’re honored to support you.
Today and every day, we thank you for your contributions, your compassion, and your commitment to helping others. As a nurse myself, I know your work is anything but easy. We will continue to recognize and support you — throughout the COVID-19 public health emergency and well beyond.
Thank you for all that you’re giving in service of people in need.
Gratefully,
Tim Ashe, RN, BSN, MS, MBA
