International Nurses Day

ePromos can help you celebrate nurses around the world this year on International Nurses Day. We celebrate this day to recognize the contribution nurses make to our society. Inspired by nurses like Florence Nightingale and Elizabeth Fry, the International Council of Nurses started this day in 1965. Every year, there is a different theme for the day. In 2006, for example, the theme was "safe staffing saves lives." In 2007 the theme was "positive practice environments." Not only is there a theme, but different countries have different ways of celebrating. In the UK, for example, a ceremony is held in Westminster Abbey where a torch is passed down from nurse to another, signifying the passing of knowledge.

On International Nurses Day we honor the life-saving abilities of nurses. Whether its putting you at ease while you wait for the doctor or taking your blood for laboratory tests, the variety of vital services nurses provide is seemingly endless. Nurses take care of us, as well as our family and friends. You can use this day to both show your support for nurses world-wide all the while promoting your business.
