International Nurses Day

​​​  

International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every year on 12 May.

 ​​




On International Nurses Day, we acknowledge the compassion, professionalism, and round-the-clock commitment of nurses caring for patients in the public health system.

As the single largest workforce group in NSW Health, nurses are there at every turn, making a real difference to the care and experience of patients and their families and carers.

We celebrate and appreciate nurses, and the important role of nursing.

Happy International Nurses Day!
