International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every May 12, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, who is widely considered the founder of modern nursing.The theme for 2007 is: Positive practice environments: Quality workplaces = quality patient care.

So to all my nurses of today and yesteryears, Happy Nurses Day.

**Update**

The nurses in my ward had a small celebration thingy for the nurses day. Thanks to the ward sister, Sr Nariah, it was simple and sweet. It brought smiles to all the ward staff. She also got each of them a rose.
