2010 Nurse of the Day Sign Up Calendar
View Available Dates for 2010: May
Special Dates Recognized:
- April 19, 2010 is the 15 year anniversary of the Murrah Bombing in Oklahoma City. The only nurse killed that day also happened to be the only organ donor from the tragedy, Nurse Rebecca Anderson; she made the decision to be an organ donor long before that horrific day. ONA Member Eileen Grubbs, in her capacity as a transplant coordinator, accepted Rebecca's heart for an Oklahoma veteran; Eileen sees Rebecca Anderson as "a living tribute to the Nightingale pledge." As an organ donor, she saved three lives that day. The Oklahoma Nurses Association is proud to dedicate April 19th as the "Rebecca Anderson, Nurse of the Day" this and every year. Remember, April is Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Month. Tell this story to encourage more people to become donors.
- May 12, 1820 is Florence Nightingale's birthday. Our "Nightingale Nurse of the Day" serves to remind us of the Nightingale Pledge. We also celebrate Nurses Week this week in May.
About Nurse of the Day:
This is one of the best experiences ONA has to offer to its members. It allows ONA members to sign up to become more politically active and get their voices heard. They will be at the capitol from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. They will get a chance to individually meet their Senator and Representative to talk about legislative issues important to them personally as well as ONA. Their Legislators will introduce them on the House and Senate Floors during session. They will provide routine first aid measures and may issue over the counter medications as well as other responsibilities.
Check the calendar below for availability before submitting your choice dates. Remember, this runs from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Thursday, beginning February 1, 2010 and ending May 28, 2010.

This modified "Hippocratic Oath" was composed in 1893 by Mrs. Lystra E. Gretter and a Committee for the Farrand Training School for Nurses, Detroit, Michigan. It was called the Florence Nightingale Pledge as a token of esteem for the founder of modern nursing:
“I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly, to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care.”
