AJR 67 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates month of May each year as "Nurse's Month."

AJR 67 designates the month of May each year as "Nurse's Month" in New Jersey to recognize nurses' contributions to healthcare. The resolution requests the governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public acknowledgment of nurses' work. It directly affects New Jersey's nursing workforce, which includes over 141,000 registered nurses, 13,500 nurse practitioners, and 23,400 licensed practical nurses. This is a ceremonial measure with no new funding, regulations, or policy changes - solely intended to honor nurses' roles in patient care and public health.
