Celebrated since 1965, this important day not only highlights the important role of nurses in the healthcare system, but also commemorates the birth of Florence Nigtingale, the founder of the nursing profession. Nigtingale was an English nurse who was instrumental in modernising nursing care and establishing standards of care and hygiene in the 19th century, and won many awards for her services, including being the first British woman to receive the Order of Merit for the British Empire.
Florence Nigtingale's legacy has been built upon by other nurses around the world. Their commitment and unstinting dedication to patient care is admirable and deserves great respect. We too recognize the important and irreplaceable role of all our nurses and wish to express our support and admiration for them.
"The past "covid" years have highlighted the work of nurses among the population and many people have become more aware of how important and difficult their work is," says Adéla Šubertová, head nurse at Hořovice Hospital. "I would like to thank all the nurses in our hospital not only for last year, but also for trying to be empathetic and putting patient care first. We appreciate the work you do, even though we know it is often very challenging. Dear nurses, thank you for the work you do and we wish you the best of luck, health and success in your professional and personal lives."
