The Whole U is thrilled to celebrate the incredible nurses at UW Medicine. Every second of every day, nurses across the UW Medicine healthcare system provide life-saving care.

During Nurses Week, we take the time to recognize and celebrate all our nurses and hope you will join us at the following events and activities to honor UW Medicine nurses.

Speaker Series

We’re celebrating our nurses with an incredible speaker panel open to all at UW Medicine. Speakers will focus on the nursing experience, bringing a wide variety of important perspectives to the discussion. This series is presented in partnership between CARE4U, The UWMC Recognition and Engagement Committee, and The Whole U.
