Assembly Resolution No. 1223

BY: M. of A. DeStefano

 memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 October 14, 2026, as Emergency Nurses Day and
 October 11-17, 2026, as Emergency Nurses Week in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days and weeks that are set aside to increase awareness of
serious issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, it is the sense of this Legislative Body to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 14, 2026, as
Emergency Nurses Day and October 11-17, 2026, as Emergency Nurses Week
in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, The more than 100,000 emergency nurses are the first line
of patient care in our nation's emergency departments; and

 WHEREAS, The profession of emergency nurse continues to grow in
number and respect throughout our nation; and

 WHEREAS, Emergency nurses are committed to providing quality
emergency care to their patients; and

 WHEREAS, Emergency nurses selflessly dedicate large portions of
their lives to caring for and comforting those persons most in need; and

 WHEREAS, Emergency nurses are at the forefront of the health system;
they are the first face a patient comes across when entering an
emergency room, and often the last face a patient sees when leaving; and

 WHEREAS, They face daily challenges of verbal and physical abuse,
patient adversity and hardship, and the constant battle of access block
and ramping, however this does not stop them from getting out of bed the
next day and doing it all over again; and

 WHEREAS, Emergency nurses continually demonstrate their
professionalism and strive to upgrade standards of practice and improve
patient care; and

 WHEREAS, Emergency nurses endeavor to educate the public in the
prevention and treatment of injury and illness and the proper use of
emergency services; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 14, 2026, as
Emergency Nurses Day and October 11-17, 2026, as Emergency Nurses Week
in the State of New York, in recognition of our appreciation of
emergency nurses and to celebrate their dedication and professionalism;
and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
