This Day in History: 2025-05-12
International Nurses Day.
On May 12, nurses mark International Nursing Day. The originator of modern nursing is the nurse Florence Nightingale, who in the mid-19th century initiated the entry of professionally educated women into the health care of patients. The health care system is inconceivable without nurses, so we need to work together to develop the nursing profession and nursing in general, for the benefit of health care users. Happy day to all nurses and medical technicians!
