According to Bureau of Labor Statistics and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, there are over 630,000 practical and vocational nurses as well as 4.7 million registered nurses in the United States. Every day these individuals help keep our healthcare services running and are often times providing direct care to the patients. This year, #NursesWeek2024 coincided with our Forum where nursing professionals across all disciplines represented at Methodist Healthcare Ministries gather to listen to various speakers, partake in workshops and complete Continuing Education Units. MHM is incredibly proud of our team of nursing professionals who support, facilitate and provide care to under-served populations across South Texas. Thank you for all the work that you do *heart emoji*
