This is National Nurses Week. It’s a time to celebrate and honor those who give so much on the job. Many nurses like Beaumont Hospital orthopedic nurse Maureen Cooper tells Michigan News Network it’s not so much a job as a calling.

“My dad had been a medic in the Korean War, and learning from what he had, I knew that was something I wanted to do,” Cooper said.

By the way, nurses are the most trusted profession, according to a recent Gallup Poll, for the 17th year in a row. There are more than 170,000 licensed nurses in Michigan.
