Nursing Week 2024 Hero Image

WeRPN’s 2024 Nursing Week theme — Innovators: RPNs Shaping the Future of Healthcare — exemplified our belief that the nursing profession is more powerful when nurses stand together. When nurses unite, we have a strong voice to champion change across healthcare.

To celebrate this special week, WeRPN was proud to host a series of FREE events aimed at recognizing and supporting our nursing colleagues. From educational and leadership sessions to wellness activities and our Nursing Now Awards Ceremony, we had something for everyone.
