Happy International Nurses Day
by Joanne King - Chair of ARNS
This International Nurses Day, ARNS would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to a special group of heroes in healthcare: Respiratory Nurses. Our unwavering dedication, compassion, and expertise in the face of respiratory challenges is truly remarkable. The ARNS Executive Board would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all of you as extraordinary individuals who embody compassion, capability, and unwavering dedication.
Day in and day out, we provide vital care to patients battling a range of respiratory conditions, from asthma to COPD to COVID-19. Our knowledge and skills not only alleviate symptoms but also empower patients to manage their conditions and navigate the complexities of their healthcare journey with confidence.
We are guardians of respiratory health, working tirelessly to ensure every breath is a little easier for our patients. A colleague told me of a mug that was brought for them – ‘Nursing is a work of heart’ and we couldn’t agree more.
To all the respiratory nurses around the world, ARNS say thank you. Thank you for your tireless dedication to improving the lives of those with respiratory illnesses. Thank you for your compassion and kindness, which brings comfort to so many in their darkest hours. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of your patients every single day.
This International Nurses Day, ARNS honour and celebrate respiratory nurses.
