Nurses are special people who provide extraordinary care to Maine people in every community, in hospitals, clinics, schools, long-term care settings and all kinds of health care settings. These worthy accomplishments have been sustained even while Maine's nursing shortages challenged the recruitment and retention efforts needed to continue providing quality patient care. Our nurses earned the pride and respect of every citizen as they responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by caring for the most acutely ill in our hospitals and supporting public health initiatives to help us all to stay healthy.
