Cooper is proud to honor our emergency nurses during Emergency Nurses Week, from October 8 through October 14, and Emergency Nurses Day on Wednesday, October 11. Every year, this special week recognizes the dedication, compassion, and strength that emergency nurses display even in the most challenging times.
Cooper’s Emergency Department (ED) manages nearly 80,000 patient visits a year. Cooper emergency nurses are an integral part of the ED care team. An emergency nurse cares for patients on the worst days of their lives, providing the best possible care.
Since 1989, the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) has recognized the second Wednesday in October as Emergency Nurses Day to honor emergency nurses for their commitment to patient care. In 2001, ENA expanded the celebration to devote an entire week to celebrating emergency nurses, because one day is simply not enough to recognize all contributions made by emergency nurses.
We thank our Cooper emergency nurses for their extraordinary dedication in caring for our patients.
