International Nurses Day// today we give thanks to the wonderful nurses, not only within our community, but world wide. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their compassion, skill, strength and commitment.

International Nurses Day is celebrated world wide on 12 May; the birth date of Florence Nightingale.

The theme for 2025 is “Our Nurses. Our Future - Caring for nurses strengthens economies” that builds on the success of the 2024 theme, “The Economic Power of Care”. The 2025 theme shifts focus to the health and wellbeing of nurses.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest we forget
