International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every May 12, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth



MAY 12th - 2009 THEME


The IND THEME for 2008 is: Delivering Quality, Serving Communities: Nurses Leading Care Innovations. The content of this year's kit, including the poster image are posted here as downloadable documents for use by individual nurses, associations, health ministries and health institutions. This material has already been disseminated to national nurses' associations worldwide. Though mainly planned around May 12 each year, IND activities continue for much of the year by nurses and others. We encourage nurses everywhere to make extended use of the Delivering Quality, Serving Communities: Nurses Leading Care Innovations kit throughout the year, through individual action and group activities.

Nurse’s Day on May 12, the profession too is witnessing a welcome change. With attitudes becoming more professional, there is growing awareness and importance about this service

If there was one person who could embody all that went into being a nurse, it would undoubtedly be a 17-year-old girl from England — Florence Nightingale. Her dedicated service during the Crimean war of 1853 got her an unrivaled place in history as the ‘lady with the lamp’.
