Nurses' Day 2014

Hi everyone! It is a great honour for me to share my simple but wonderful experience with you guys. As a nurse, Nurses’ Day celebration has been a part of me since 1998, when I first started my journey as a nursing student.
I have always enjoyed celebrating this day as this is my day… a very special day of appreciation on my tide and tithes of been called “Nurse”. Nursing is my 2nd love, a love which I gained from my patients' smiles and thanks.
This year – 2014, I celebrated my Nurses’ Day with Vision College's students and colleagues. It has been a great experience especially for the students to understand the real meaning of nursing.


























                                 
What is Nurses’ Day?
Theme for 2014:
International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every May 12, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth. The IND theme for 2014 is: Nurses: A Force for Change – A vital resource for health.
The Origins and History of Nurses Day
Even though National Nurses' Day was first planned in 1953, it was not, until 1974 that things actually worked out, when the International Council of Nurses stated publicly May 12 as International Nurse Day.
The reason that Nurses' Day is observed on the 12th May every year is for the reason that it is the birth date of Florence Nightingale. She made many improvements to nursing and health care and radically cut the death rate amid soldiers in the Crimean War as a consequence of her hard work, devotion and tuition of fellow nurses.
Lastly, “Happy Nurses’ Day” to all student nurses and staffs in Vision College as well as all nurses out there. Know that you are a very special creation of God. Bye...
