Today, on International Nurses Day, we pause to recognize the dedication, compassion and quiet heroism of nurses around the world.

Nurses are the steady hands in the storm, the calm voices amid uncertainty, and the quiet heroes whose strength lies not just in their skills, but in their compassion. They are there in our most vulnerable moments — to comfort, to care, and to carry hope when we cannot hold it ourselves.

To every nurse: thank you for your courage, your care, and your calling. The world is better, safer, and more human because of you.

Happy International Nurses' Day!
