International Nurses Day

 

International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every year on 12 May.

 

12 May is the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.

On International Nurses Day, we acknowledge the compassion, professionalism, and round-the-clock commitment of nurses caring for patients in the public health system.

As the single largest workforce group in NSW Health, nurses are there at every turn, making a real difference to the care and experience of patients and their families and carers.

We celebrate and appreciate nurses, and the important role of nursing.

Happy International Nurses Day!
