On this International Nurses Day, Tuesday 12th May, we want to celebrate with appreciate all our noble nurses who work hard every day, while the Nurses community today is waging war universally against COVID-19, a foe as terrifying as any in the recorded human history.

Grappling with the pandemic and all its challenges, however, the nurses as well as doctors deserve special appreciation in their efforts in these Covid times. They are wonderfully doing their duties that exchange people’s lives each day.  

Here, some senior nurses in their nursing career would like to share their concern about the COVID crisis: -Nurses from around and beyond the city highlighted their hopes by sharing their concern about this pandemic COVID-19 crisis: One of the Nursing Award winners Mrs. Ancy Sebastian of Coral Hospital, Indore says: “In spite of rising number of Covid-19 patients, I keep on my record that I am still going for duty, and did not skip even a single shift. When I give injection to patients, I always try to plant my smile at the tip of the needle or at the heart of the patients”.

Mrs. Sheeba George of Asian Institute of Infertility Management, Indore shares: “It’s a time of great stress and uncertainty still nurses are rising to the occasion. Even during this pandemic, we are the front-line warriors and are facing innumerable challenges like long working hours, lack of proper sleep and rest and shortage of personal protective equipments and endless mental and emotional stress. Yet, the nursing community makes a lot of comprises and sacrifices in their personal and family lives for the well-being of the society amidst the Covid crisis”.

Mrs.Thressiamma George, the Nursing Excellence Award winner, having 38-years experience in nursing dedication, who works in Bose-Sirs hospital, Anickad, Kerala shares: “Despite Covid crises, I am going to hospital by walking over 2 kilo meters  to and fro to perform my duty to the best of my abilities and with devotion. So far I have not taken a single leave during the Covid times”.

In light of the above sharing by some of the nurses from their heart, let us salute our nurses with all our hearts and spirits. We may call this 2020, as the International Year of doctors & nurses and all other front-line workers in this Covid crisis as we celebrate the International Nurses Day!.
