International Nurses Day: Doctors play an important role in curing any sick, but nurses working in the medical field also play an equally important role in curing a patient.
During the Covid period, when people were unable to take care of their loved ones, nurses left their families served them without fear of illness. These nurses served the patients continuously for hours without worrying about hunger and thirst.
Due to this bravery and service, doctors and nurses were called "Corona Warriors" during the Corona period.
International Nurses Day is celebrated every year on May 12 to honour the service and work of all nurses in the world. Even though people understood the work and importance of nurses during the Corona period, this day dedicated to nurses around the world is being celebrated for centuries.
In this article, we will tell you about the important things related to Nurses Day and about some such nurses of India who performed their service with full devotion.
'Florence Nightingale' the world's first nurse, is also known as 'The Lady with the Lamp'. Florence, who was fond of serving people since childhood, had decided in 1844 that she would become a nurse.
Ignoring this dream, her family members wanted to get her married, but she flatly refused to marry. Believing defeat, the family members allowed her to go to Germany to take nursing training. After this, Florence started working in this area with full service.
Florence Nightingale is better known as an 'angel' who saved the lives of the wounded. Her most important contribution was in the Crimean War. In 1854, she was sent to Turkey with 38 nurses to serve the wounded, where she served the wounded patients day and night.
She was awarded the title of 'The Lady with the Lamp' for her service work done at the same time. He was awarded the 'Order of Merit' by the British Government. To honour this work of Florence, International Nurses Day is celebrated every year on her birthday.
During the Corona period, when there was a lot of patients all around, there was a shortage of nurses in the country and abroad. Then there was a nurse in India who, forgetting her pain, understood the pain of the patients and served them.
Due to this service spirit of Shobhna Pathania, she was awarded the Florence Nightingale Award in 2019.
Shobhna Pathania had surgery in the initial phase of Covid, but when Corona started spreading its feet in the country, Shobhna also returned to her duties. Forgetting the pain of his surgery, she did Covid duty continuously for 7-8 months.
During this, she remained amid patients full time, organizing special programs from time to time to reduce the stress of positive patients. She had not met her children for months while on duty.
Performing her every duty towards the patients, Shobhna cured many patients and sent them to their homes. She said that the role of one doctor and one paramedical staff each is very important in the Corona period.
