The resolution recognizes April 30, 2025, as Nurses Day at the Louisiana State Capitol and designates May 6th through May 12th as National Nurses Week in Louisiana. The theme for Nurses Day is "Nurses' Voices Advocating for a Healthier and Safer Louisiana," highlighting the significant role of over 65,000 registered nurses, including more than 9,000 advanced practice registered nurses, in the state. The resolution emphasizes the advocacy efforts of the Louisiana State Nurses Association, which promotes ethical care, high standards in nursing practice, and the inclusion of nurses in decision-making processes related to healthcare.

Additionally, the resolution underscores the importance of access to primary, preventive, maternal-child, and mental healthcare, as well as the need for a safe work environment for nurses. It supports the American Nurses Association's Nursing Code of Ethics, which emphasizes respect for the dignity and rights of all individuals. By recognizing these dates, the resolution aims to honor the contributions of registered nurses in shaping health policy and ensuring that all citizens of Louisiana have access to quality healthcare.
