Black Nurses Week™ was created by Black nursing professionals with the goal of designating a specific week out of the year to celebrate and shine the light on Black nursing excellence. Starting in 2022, July 26-August 1 will be the annual designated week chosen to celebrate Black Nurses Week in honor of Mary Eliza Mahoney. Mary was the first African American nurse to graduate with her professional nursing diploma in the United States of America on August 1, 1879.
