WATCH: Stepping Stone pays tribute to nurses making a difference
Stepping Stone Hospice celebrates International Nurses Day by recognising the nurses who provide compassionate care and support to patients and families every day
Every year on May 12, people around the world celebrate International Nurses Day and thank nurses for the important work they do.
At Stepping Stone Hospice, the day is very special because nurses play a big role in caring for patients and supporting families during difficult times.
Stepping Stone Hospice believes every person living with a serious illness deserves care, kindness, dignity and respect.
The Hospice nurses help make patients feel comfortable and cared for while also giving emotional support to their loved ones.
This year’s International Nurses Day theme is Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives. The theme encourages people to support and appreciate nurses for their work in healthcare.
