The International Nurses Day 2019 is celebrated across the earth on the 12th of May every year, this is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale. The International Council of Nurses also called as the ICN, celebrates the nurses day during May 12 in memory of Florence Nightingale, the founder of Modern Day Nursing.
All nurses across the earth should be thanked for their continuous effort of providing professional care for patients who are suffering so much, for sure their profession and love for their job cannot be neglected.
The first ever Nurses Day was celebrated in 1965, a proposal for the celebration was first presented in 1953, but it was rejected. In 1965 the INC (International Nurses Council) celebrated the nurses day on May 12, and in 1974, it was officially recognized and since then, the Nurses Day has been celebrated during the 12th of May every year.
We all know how nurses serve for us, their profession is considered as one of the best and toughest amongst all. Nurses play a very big role in our modern society, they help sick people get better, do something no other person is willing to do, answer almost every question we have and are the backbone of the health care system on earth.
Imagine what hospitals would look like without nurses, imagine what doctors would have to go through if nurses were not there, and this is why we salute all the hard working nurses who have sacrificed a lot for the betterness of other people who they barely even now.

Nurses act as a glue, they are continuously holding a patient’s health together and are doing their best to make them feel like they are getting home like care. Nurses work constantly and tirelessly to protect the needs of patients who are ill. Nurses deserve better, they do not really get the amount of appreciation they should get. People look down at them, shout at them for making small mistakes, abuse the nurse, and sometimes, even disrespecting them.

That’s why appreciate them, learn how to respect them, and make sure you greet them on May 12, and thank them for their continuous effort and tremendous passion for their marvelous job.
