Section 2. In enacting section 5.2235 of the Revised Code, it | 9 |
is the intent of the General Assembly to acknowledge and celebrate | 10 |
the nurses of this state. Although nurses practice their | 11 |
profession in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, | 12 |
nursing homes, other health care facilities, physician's offices, | 13 |
schools, and even private homes, the contributions made by the | 14 |
nursing profession in the improvement of the health care system | 15 |
are sometimes overlooked. Therefore, the members of the 127th | 16 |
General Assembly feel that it is vitally important that a month be | 17 |
formally designated as "Nurses Month" for the purpose of | 18 |
increasing public awareness of the role nurses play in the health | 19 |
and well-being of all Ohioans. | 20 |
