Why we celebrate Nurses Day
Nurses Day is a national holiday, celebrated annually on May 6. On this day, raise awareness of the important genus of nurses in public life. Nurses Day celebrates the beginning of the National Nurses Week, which ends on May 12, when Florence Nightingale was born. It was on this day that she was born. Florence Nightingale – English nurse is known for her professionalism due to her work in the Crimean War. The National Nurses Week was first celebrated in October 1954, when there were 100 years of Nightingale mission in the Crimea. In 1982, for the first time, this date was introduced as the main day of the celebration of the Nurses Day.
What Do People Do
In 1953, Dorothy Sutherland, who was an employee of the US Department of Health, invited the president to proclaim Nurses Day. But the president did not give the order. In January 1974, May 12, decided to celebrate Nurses Day as the anniversary of the birth of Florence. She was the founder of modern nursing. Every year, a nurses kit is prepared and distributed, which includes textbooks and other materials for use by nurses. In 1998, May 8, celebrate the national student day of nurses. Nurses Day is celebrated by holding various receptions and banquets and seminars throughout the United States. Close people give presents and flowers to nurses.
