International Nurses Day is observed on May 12, to mark the Birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale who is regarded as the founder of Modern Nursing and remembered as the “lady with the lamp.”
This year’s theme is “Closing the Gap: Increasing Access and Equity.”
Health care is as a main public priority in most parts of the world and nurses play a central role in delivering health care. Nurses help educate patients and the public on the prevention of illness and injury, provide care and assist in cure, participate in rehabilitation, and provide support. Nurses have always been in the forefront of change in health care and public health. Their round-the-clock presence, observation skills, and vigilance allow doctors to make better diagnoses and propose better treatments.
The nursing profession has witnessed a lot of changes over the decades and with a rapidly changing environment, high importance has been given to nursing work. In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the demand for nurses due to an increase in the number of elderly people who need care.
Nursing is changing and adapting in response to a wide range of interests. Changes in public expectations, the discovery of new medical treatments, developments in sophisticated technical systems, and breakthrough in pharmaceutical treatments are helping to shape present-day nursing practices.
As the cornerstones of a nation’s health care industry, nurses not only offer care and comfort but also serve as role models for good health care.
