International Nurses day is celebrated globally on May 12 every year to commemorate the work of nurses in healthcare, sponsored by the International Council of nurses (ICN). This date was chosen as it is the birth date of Florence Nightingale, a British social reformer and the founder of modern nursing.
Significance of International Nurses day
Nurses are the most important link between a doctor and the patient. A doctor only prescribes the medicines and makes the diagnosis, but it’s the nurses on whom the actual responsibility of the treatment depends. Without the nursing staff, a medical facility can’t function even for a day. Therefore, the observation of International Nurses Day becomes all the more significant.
Theme of 2022 Nurses day
INC has announced the new theme for International Nurses Day 2022 i.e. Nurses: A Voice to lead – invest in Nursing and respect rights to secure global health.
