Today is a day that the US recognizes the work done by nurses. It's National Nurses Day.
The Gallup Poll says nurses are the most trusted people in the medical profession. Almost 90% say nurses have the highest moral and ethical standards in medicine.
The International Council of Nurses gave this week a theme, "Nurses: A Voice to Lead"
It begins an entire week dedicated to saying, "thank you" to nurses all around the country.
The week runs through May 12, which coincides with Florence Nightingale's birthday. She's the founder of modern nursing.
On Ask the Expert, David Rancken and John Liddle talked to Serena Bumpus. She's the Director of Practice at the Texas Nurses Association.
