International Nurses Day
International Nurses Day (INDIA) is a global day observed around the world on 12 May (the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth) every year, to mark the contributions that nurses make to society.
History
The International Council of Nurses (ICN) has been celebrated today since 1965. In 1953 Dorothy Sutherland, an official with the U.S.Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, proposed that President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaim a "Nurses' Day"; he did no longer approve it.
In January 1974, 12 May changed into chosen to rejoice the day as it's far the anniversary of the delivery of Florence Nightingale, the founding father of modern nursing. Every 12 months, ICN prepares and distributes the International Nurses' Day Kit. The package includes educational and public records substances, for use by using nurses anywhere. As of 1998, 8 May was targeted as the annual National Student Nurses' Day.
Australia
The Australian Nurse of the Year is announced at a ceremony in one of the country's capital cities. Additionally, in each of the Australian states and territories, various nursing award ceremonies are performed at some stage in the week.
China
In 2007, 5000 nurses accumulated in Yichun, East China's Jiangxi Province.
Ireland
In 2012, Nurse Jobs Ireland (an Irish nurse recruitment corporation) launched a week-lengthy pro-bono marketing campaign to have a good time for nurses the 6–12 May each yr.
This week-lengthy birthday celebration uses digital platforms including Twitter and Facebook to promote the incredible work nurses do use the hashtag #CelebrateNurses.
The public goes away with their fantastic feedback and thanks at the Celebrate Nurses internet site where they may be collated into an e-book that is shared in medical facilities at some point in Ireland.
