Celebrated on March 19, Certified Nurses Day honors nurses who earn professional certifications beyond their basic licenses, showing advanced knowledge in specialized areas of care.
The day was established in 2008 by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the American Nurses Association. Today, nurses can pursue certifications in dozens of specialties, including emergency care, pediatrics, oncology and critical care. Certification often requires passing exams, meeting practice requirements and completing continuing education. Research suggests certification can be linked to stronger clinical confidence and improved patient outcomes.
The holiday recognizes the training, expertise and dedication these nurses bring to healthcare every day.

Nevada legalized gambling on March 19, 1931, as lawmakers searched for ways to survive the Great Depression.
Nevada had barely 91,000 residents in 1930, and Las Vegas was still a small railroad town with under 5,200 people. Before the Strip, many early casinos opened in downtown Las Vegas and Reno, where legalized gambling first took hold. For years, Nevada’s gambling monopoly made it one of the most unusual state economies in the country. Legal gambling, combined with Hoover Dam construction, helped fuel rapid growth.
Today, Las Vegas has more than 650,000 residents and draws tens of millions of visitors annually.

Wyatt Earp, born March 19, 1848, in Monmouth, Illinois, was a lawman, gambler and frontier figure who became one of the most enduring legends of the American West.
Before becoming famous, he worked in boomtowns as a marshal, buffalo hunter, saloon operator and gambler. Earp became forever linked to the 1881 gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, one of the most famous shootouts in U.S. history.
Though his real life was more complicated than the legend, books and films later turned him into one of the Old West’s most enduring icons and symbol of frontier justice.
