International Nurses Day 2020

yesterday is International Nurses Day 2020, a day to celebrate nurses all across the world which this year has even greater significance falling as it does during the coronavirus pandemic.

The day was chosen because it was the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who is regarded as the founder of modern nursing – and today marks 200 years since her birth. This year the public is being asked to get involved by illuminating their windows at 8.30pm tonight as a nod to the lamp which Nightingale was known to carry.
