“I attended the 3rd Annual International Nurses Day at The United Nations on Friday May 10, 2019, sponsored by Nurses with Global Impact. International Nurses Day is celebrated to commemorate the birthday of nursing’s founder, Florence Nightingale. Twenty-one nurses from around the world were honored for their compassion, dedication and passion for their work. These honorees came from New York, New Jersey, Maine, Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Chile, Kenya, South Sudan, Iraq, Palestine, China and South Africa. They are role models and paving the way for future generations of nurses.

The nurses honored and recognized at this event truly have given their lives and talents to others. Their work embodies the essence of nursing… caring for others with compassion. It was an honor to be part of this day and I am proud to be part of a profession that can and does make a difference, every day, all over the world.”
