National Nurses Week - Paula
"I feel very strongly about every child being a wanted child, strongly about women’s access to reproductive health care. I’m a feminist and I believe that women need control of their fertility to fully participate in society."
National Nurses Week - Katy
"I work at Planned Parenthood because I believe so strongly in educating and supporting women and men in their choices regarding reproductive health."
National Nurses Week - Jen
"We don’t ever turn anyone away, and that’s why we’re so busy. We don’t want to send anyone away, because for some patients it was really hard for them to get here. It could have been hard for them to leave the house, to find time, or to be safe from a dangerous partner. So once they’re here, we always serve them."
National Nurses Week - Erika
"If you have a question or if you’re worried about something, just call. It takes five minutes for me to go over something or answer a simple question, and then you don’t have to worry anymore."
National Nurses Week - Akia
"I fell in love with the patients, the environment, the education, and uncovered my passion for working with young women and caring for them."
National Nurses Week - Lisa
"The work we do is pretty profound, and it’s really a privilege. It still amazes me that I get to meet people and have a short interaction with them in which they’ll tell me some of the most intimate things about their lives."
Celebrate National Nurses Week
This week, we're saying “thank you” to the compassionate and skilled nurses who work every day to keep the women, men, and young people in their communities healthy, and to ensure they have access to the full range of reproductive health care options, including cancer screenings, birth control, testing and treatment for STDs, and medically-accurate sexual health information. Join us in celebrating the remarkable dedication of Planned Parenthood nurses this week and all year long!
