CHERAW, S.C. — The Blessing of the Hands during National Nurses Week is an annual ceremony at McLeod Health. 

Many nurse groups throughout the world offer a similar ceremony during this week, traditionally observed each year May 6 through May 12, during the week of Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Nightingale is considered the founder of modern nursing because of her commitment to faith and compassion in the delivery of care, as well as for her efforts in advancing training for nurses.
