My nurses day thought

2 Nurses day thought.
Everyone knows the importance of
the day may 12.If you are a nurse its
indeed you will not forget the
significance of this particular day.May
12 is known as the international
nurses day.Why this day is known as
nurses day.I think most of the nurses
are unaware about this fact. The
International Council of Nurses
(ICN) has celebrated this day since
1965. In 1953 Dorothy Sutherland,
an official with the U.S.
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, had proposed that
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
proclaim a “Nurses Day,” but he did
not approve it. [1]
In January 1974, the decision was
made to celebrate the day on 12
May as it is the anniversary of the
birth of
Florence Nightingale, who is widely
considered the founder of modern
nursing.who is this florence
nightingale? Florence nightingale was
an
celebrated English nurse, writer
and statistician. She came to
prominence for her pioneering
work in nursing during the
Crimean War , where she tended to
wounded soldiers. She was dubbed
“The Lady with the Lamp” after her
habit of making rounds at night. An
Anglican , Nightingale believed that
God had called her to be a nurse.
Nightingale laid the foundation of
professional nursing.As we all know
as a nurse how much we are suffering
through our duty hours to save a
humans life.Even people are very
relectunt to feed their, own fathers
and mothers,how much we nurses
are taking care of them assuming
them as our own relatives.But noone
are thinking how this fellow nurses
are leading their life.As an indian
nurse i know and i suffered as well the
harassment of managements.Even
some of the common people are also
thinking that the word nurse is meant
to be slave.But we know how we are
dedicated to our work.Ignoring our
own health we are trying to improve
others health.The hospital
managements only need some slaves
to work.We all know the protest taking
place in kerala which is known as the
granery of nurses in india since
3-4months because of the immense
harasment of management towards
nurses.The revolution started due to a
suicide of a fellow nurse named
beena baby who was working in asian
heart institute mumbai.I am using this
occasion to pay rich tribute to her
through my words who sacrificed her
life for the whole nurses.The
revolution must not concentrated in
kerala but it have to spread all over
india.So awake dear nurses and
aware about the rights that what we
needed and we deserves.Fight for the
rights.we are not the subordinates of
doctors but we are individual
professionals.We have our own
rights.And the another thing which i
want to point out during this occasion
is the diminishing quality of nursing
care in india.If you are going to the
rural part of india there are no
qualified nursing professionels.Still
india is lacking of well qualified
proffesionals like nurses in rural
areas.India is facing 50% shortage of
nurses.Because of this who have to
compromise “the patients”.I think
Nurses governing body that is INC is
aware about all the facts that what is
happeningand but still they are
keeping idle.Special regards to all the
nurses association who worked hard
and tried to bring out the plight of
nurses infront of the society and still
working hard to resolve the issues
faced by the nurses.Be proud as a
nurse and be dignified and dedicated
to what the work we are doing.Happy
nurses day to all my dear nurses. Last edit by Joe V on May 12, '12
very enlightening your thoughts regarding nursing. needless to say, tomorrow the facility where i work we nurses decided to honor florence nightingale by wearing our traditional "white uniforms" and most of the female nurses will be wearing their caps as well. i can't wait to wear my total white attire with a black stripe around my collar, i hope i'm not the only male nurse dressed in white :d. wishing you a great & blessed nurses day...aloha~

Thanks dear for your appreciation....we are organizing a candle march here today....infront of my hospital...happy nurses day

Thirty two years ago today- this student nurse missed her pinning ceremony on account of being in the hospital giving birth. (An excused absence I hope) Fast forward to today - that baby I had on Florence's birthday is herself an RN. So Mothers' Day, Nurses' Day and birthdays are all celebrated this weekend.
