Etwas schwer erklärbar ist das Emblem: eine Öllampe mit

HISTORY
In 1953 an official with the U.S. Department of Health, Education and
Welfare proposed that then-President Eisenhower proclaim a "Nurse
Day," although he did not sign it. In 1955 a Nurses Week bill was
introduced in Congress, but no action was taken. Congress discontinued the
practice of issuing joint resolutions for national weeks.
Although other attempts at establishing a "nurses day" were not
successful, President Nixon proclaimed a National Nurse Week in 1974.
In 1982, a joint congressional resolution designated May 6 as "National
Recognition Day for Nurses."
In 1991, the celebration was expanded to National Nurses Week (May 6-12) to
accommodate the varied schedules of America's nurses.
