Issue: May 2023

 

Dear CCS Care Family

 

As National Nurses Week approaches, we are reminded of the vital role that nurses play in our healthcare system. Once seen as mere assistants to doctors, nurses are now recognised as highly specialised professionals with a wide range of skills. Today, becoming a nurse requires four years of study and extreme focus and dedication. This versatile career with dozens of specialties is a crucial link between patients and doctors.

 

The advent of modern nursing is credited to Florence Nightingale, who laid the foundation for professional nursing through her tireless work during and after the Crimean War. As a nursing manager on the frontline, Nightingale introduced hygiene protocols and other measures that drastically reduced infections and deaths in battlefield hospitals.

 

Today, nurses work in a wide range of specialties and settings, from school nurses who administer vaccines to highly specialized oncology nurses who assist in life-saving treatment decisions. They are the backbone of our healthcare system, providing compassionate care and expertise to patients in need.

 

To acknowledge the contributions of nurses and call attention to their working conditions, the International Council of Nurses established May 12 as International Nurses Day in 1974. The celebration was extended to a week a few years later, and National Nurses Week was officially born in 1994. Sponsored and promoted by the American Nurses Association, the week-long event highlights we are grateful for all that they do.

 

We invite you to join us in celebrating National Nurses Week by using the hashtags.
