This week, nursing associations nationwide are celebrating National Nurses Week, coinciding with the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, who is considered to be the founder of modern nursing. The week is celebrated each year in May to recognize and honor the nursing profession. With varying themes each year, the purpose of the week is to encourage nurses to further their education and knowledge, continue to strive for improvements in the profession, and advocate for others to consider becoming nurses. The week gives the industry an opportunity to reflect and have gratitude for the service of their profession to the public and an acknowledgement of the complexity of their work.

But the surgeon at Maryland Shock Trauma Center, dressed in pink scrubs, is instead examining the heart of a volunteer patient as she demonstrates one way she hopes virtual reality will soon be used in the operating room.

“The baby’s coming!” said the patient, Victoria, sounding panicked.
