At South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside, N.Y., the nursing staff is in for an exciting roster of events. They can take part in a Blessing of the Hands, offered by the hospital chaplain. They can enjoy a special breakfast that welcomes local politicians and features a lamp-lighting ceremony and choral entertainment by the Nightingales, the hospital’s own singing nurses.  They can also take part in a poster contest, the Certified Nurses Celebration and the Remembrance Ceremony. These nurses will wish every week was National Nurses Week!

Cynthia Dusseault is a professional freelance writer with both a health and an education background. A former medical radiation technologist and elementary school teacher, she realized that no matter what she did, she was drawn to any task that involved writing, so she decided, over a decade ago, to write full-time. Since then, she has written for a variety of magazines and websites including Nursing PRN, National Review of Medicine, University Affairs, Your Health, Education Leaders Today, Today's Parent, Children's Playmate, WeightWatchers.ca and many more. She has written about topics such as asthma, genital herpes, circumcision, teleradiology, body art, learning disabilities and exercise trends, and she absolutely adores the fact that writing—particularly doing the research for the articles she writes—makes her a lifelong learner.
