Apprehension, uncertainty, waiting, expectation, fear of surprise, do a patient more harm than any exertion. With this intent, International Nurses Day is an international day observed around the world on 12 May, which relates to being the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, to mark the contributions that nurses make to society.
Nurses have an extensive amount of knowledge and many diverse skills in which they spend years perfecting and developing, all the time working in decidedly tough and extreme environments where extreme stress is just a part of the work. Nurses are sort of supportive strength to Doctors. Their work not only limits to helping doctor but also taking after treatment care of the patients.
The roots of International Nurses Day goes back to 1953, when Dorothy Sutherland of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare sent a proposal to President Eisenhower to proclaim a “Nurse Day” in October of the following year. The proclamation was not officially made. But, this day was born and eventually gained national recognition and fame.
Because this day is all about celebrating nurses’ endless contributions to society, take this opportunity to show a nurse who has taken care of you how much you appreciate him or her.

As with most gestures of appreciation, whatever you decide to do need not be grand or cost much money. Sad as it is, many people neglect to thank their nurses at all, seeing them only as robots who only know how to follow the doctor’s orders, so every little way to say a simple “thank you” will definitely make that nurse’s day.
