H.R. No. 649

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A delegation of registered nurses and licensed
	vocational nurses is gathering in Austin on March 6, 2007, to
	celebrate Nurse Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Many of the nurses here today are members of the
	Texas Nurses Association, which is observing the milestone of its
	centennial in 2007; and
	WHEREAS, Currently, 150,000 registered nurses and 64,000
	licensed vocational nurses care for Texans every day in hospitals
	and nursing homes, through home health care agencies, and in other
	settings throughout the state, but Texas is facing a critical
	shortage of nurses, as well as the challenge of ensuring that our
	nursing schools can train the nurses that the state needs; and
	WHEREAS, Nursing is among the most respected of all callings,
	and Nurse Day at the State Capitol provides a fitting opportunity to
	honor these esteemed health care professionals; now, therefore, be
	it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 6, 2007, as Nurse Day at the
	State Capitol and commend those nurses visiting here today for
	their service to their fellow Texans.
