The Unsung – Heroes of the medical profession
International Nurses Day
Though ancient history records many stories of caring for sick and elderly by institutions and individuals, Florence Nightingale laid the foundation of professional nursing in the 19th century.
To ensure standards are maintained for patience at all times nurses were taught ethics, knowledge, and techniques related to management in nursing. In earlier days many young women were attracted to this noblest profession, and later males too joined in. Caring for the needy had been always a challenge. The ongoing pandemic has relived many stories of nursing staff’s courage and heroism from all over the world. By now they have stretched their services above and beyond, but still continue their efforts in supporting patience and saving lives.
Who can predict what lays in the future? Any medical crises will make the nursing staff tiring and stressed. It is time that health authorities take appropriate measures to ensure nursing staff’s wellbeing further.
Below given facts highlights their present-day role and challenges.
