About International Nurses Day

International Nurses Day is marked on 12 May, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who shaped modern nursing.

Hospitals hold small events, patients and families send thanks, and many countries mark a whole Nurses Week around the date.

Nurses are often the first and last person a patient sees each day. A simple thank you means a great deal to them.
