Furthermore, the resolution underscores the support for nurses in various stages of their careers, advocating for mentorship and community involvement.

Summary

SR22 is a Senate Resolution that aims to recognize and commend the Legacy Keepers Nurse Honor Guard of Arkansas for their outstanding services to the nursing profession across the state. Established in 2025 by a dedicated group of nurses and community supporters, the organization works to honor and remember nurses both in life and in death. The resolution emphasizes the importance of acknowledging nurses' contributions to healthcare and their communities, particularly those who have passed away, through meaningful tributes and ceremonies.
