What is International Nurses Day?

NURSES DAY IS THE DAY OF INTERNATIONAL NURSES.

Around the world, May 12 (the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth in 1820) is observed around the world. The day is scheduled to celebrate and highlight the numerous contributions nurses make to society. At some of their families' most difficult times of their lives, nurses care for our loved ones. They may run short of time, but not compassion.

International Nurses Day is a week-long event in Australia, Canada, the United States, and other nations, where it is often referred to as National Nurses Week.
