MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A big shout out Thursday to nurses across South Florida. It's National Nurses Day when we give thanks to all of their hard work and contributions, especially during these challenging times created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It's also the first day of National Nurses Week, which goes through May 12, which was the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
