Every year-from May 6th to the 12th-our nation celebrates National Nurses Week, as these medical professionals are recognized for their tireless service and dedication to caring for others. According to the American Nurses Association, the history of National Nurses Week dates back to the 1950’s with the observance dates made permanent in 1994. In anticipation of National Nurses Week, The Frame took a visit to Massachusetts Bay Community College’s Health Sciences building in Framingham, which opened earlier this year. Nursing classes have been underway for months now with students eager to enter the workforce.
Mass Bay’s Health Sciences building is home to some of the most state of the art, world-class nursing skills labs, and simulation technology in the world. This leading, high-tech equipment is designed to give their students one of a kind hands on training that will better prepare them for their healthcare careers.
