Nightingale Moment Events
The Florence Nightingale Commemorative Moment started in 2000 as a celebration of nursing’s most known contributor and ended up launching a worldwide movement. The Nightingale Moment occurs May 12 at noon. At that moment, every nurse around the world is invited to pause, take a moment of silence or create a healing ceremony or ritual in celebration and dedication of holistic nursing. We will create a wave of healing consciousness as nurses world-wide observe this moment. CLICK HERE to learn more about the Nightingale Moment.

Many have also worked to combine the Nightingale Moment and/or the Blessing of the Hands with other Nurses Week activities at their local hospitals.
