Honoring Montana’s Nurses: Celebrating National Nurses Week 2025
Each year, from May 6–12, we come together to celebrate National Nurses Week—a time to recognize and honor the incredible contributions of nurses across the country. Here in Montana, the Montana Nurses Association (MNA) is proud to stand beside the nurses who care for our communities with skill, compassion, and resilience.
This year’s theme, “Nurses Make the Difference,” couldn’t be more fitting. From hospital floors to rural clinics, school districts to state agencies, Montana’s nurses continue to rise to every challenge with determination and heart. They are the calm in a storm, the advocates when voices are unheard, and the steady hands that hold our healthcare system together.
At MNA, we see your dedication every day—in your leadership, your advocacy, your commitment to evidence-based care, and your unwavering support for patients and peers alike. You don’t just make a difference—you are the difference.
As we celebrate this week, we encourage all Montanans to take a moment to thank a nurse. Whether it’s a colleague, friend, family member, or someone who provided care during a difficult time, your appreciation matters. And to our nurses: know that MNA is here for you—fighting for safe staffing, fair workplace protections, and policies that honor your profession and support your wellbeing.
From all of us at the Montana Nurses Association, thank you for all you do—not just this week, but every week.
Happy National Nurses Week!
In solidarity and gratitude,
Montana Nurses Association
