During National Nurses Week, we want to celebrate every nurse who is a vital part of a hospital care team. Nurses work selflessly — sometimes off-duty or outside a hospital’s walls — on the front lines of care to keep us healthy. Take a look at seven of this community’s favorite stories about nurses to celebrate these amazing caregivers.

Mikea’s care is beautiful music to a patient’s ears…literally.
It was the right place and right time for Sherice, when she came to the aid of a law enforcement officer who was shot during a traffic stop.
