Nurses enter our lives from the moment we are born to the last moment of most of our lives and they provide emotional and physical care to the sick and disabled.
International Council of Nurses (ICN) said the profession of nursing requires real commitment and selfless hard work and a lot of love, passion and perseverance, more than most other jobs do.
The ICN commemorates this important day each year with the production and distribution of the International Nurses’ Day (IND) Kit.
The IND Kit 2014 contains educational and public information materials, for use by nurses everywhere.
The IND theme for 2014 is: Nurses: A Force for Change – A vital resource for health.
The content of this year’s kit is for use by individual nurses, associations, health ministries and health institutions.
This material has already been disseminated to national nurses’ associations worldwide.
Though mainly planned around May 12 each year, IND activities continue for much of the year by nurses and others.
Nurses everywhere are encouraged to make extended use of the Nurses: A Force for Change – A vital resource for health kit throughout the year, through individual action and group activities.
