  • Celebrate the Power of Nurses during National Nurses Week 2026 | NCSBN

    The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing. The Tri-Council celebrates the vital role nurses play in society and honors the invaluable contributions of nurses worldwide. We encourage everyone to express their thanks to nurses who work tirelessly to promote health and healing, not only during Nurses Week, but throughout the year, and in every moment of their interactions with those under their care.  Please visit the website of each respective organization to learn more about activities and events happening during Nurses Week.   The Tri-Council for Nursing is an alliance between the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the American Nurses Association, the American Organization for Nursing Leadership, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing.
