Neonatal Nurses Week—Celebrating You!

Established in 2000 by the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN), members of the neonatal community use this time to honor nurse colleagues and show pride in being a neonatal nurse or neonatal APRN. In 2019, NANN expanded the celebration from one day on September 15, to an entire week during the month of September each year.

Neonatal Nurses Week provides an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of neonatal nurses and APRNs. The contributions of these health care workers to the tiniest patients make a difference that lasts a lifetime for neonates and their families.

2024 Neonatal Nurses Week

Neonatal Nurses Week is a weeklong celebration that will take place September 14-20, 2024 and was created to honor the life-saving and changing work we do every day. Stay tuned into our social networks to get involved with the celebrations!
