May 12 - Nurse's Day
For the second century, there has been a world day for nurses of all levels and specialties. It is celebrated on May 12, the birthday of the legendary Florence Nightingale , the founder of our profession. True, officially the day of the nurse has been celebrated since 1971, and in Russia it was recognized in 1993.
The contribution of a nurse to the treatment of patients cannot be overestimated. After all, it is the sister who performs all the manipulations prescribed by the doctor. Helps the doctor, being his second hands and eyes. He monitors the condition and mood of patients, takes care to bring a prescription for the right medicine on time, measure blood pressure ... You can’t list everything!
But the modern nurse is a developing profession. Thanks to the introduction of the nursing process, information and communication technologies, the role of the nurse is increasing, and the provision of medical care by her is reaching a higher level.
It is very pleasant and significant that there is a world day of nurses, when one feels unity with colleagues from all over the world. And what, besides the day of the medical worker in June, the nurse can proudly say on May 12: today is my professional holiday!
Happy holiday, dear colleagues!
