Thanking nurses for saving lives
The Exceptional Nurse campaign encourages, motivates, appreciates and honours all currently employed nursing staff.
To celebrate International Nurses Day recently, the women from Port Shepstone Hidden Treasure Charity Store visited three clinics in Port Shepstone, Tweni and Marburg.
Managers Alet Grubb and Mary Sanesy of the charity store visited the nurses to thank them for all they do under very trying circumstances.
“Nursing is not a job, but a calling. You are called to serve,” said Mary, during their visit to Port Shepstone Clinic.
They gave the nurses a little gift which contained The Exceptional Nurse campaign pamphlet, pen and bracelet. They also brought them a treat for tea time.
What is the The Exceptional Nurse campaign? It advertises vacant nursing posts. They encourage previously trained professional nurses to re-enter the profession, motivate churches and communities to volunteer general assistance at a hospital or clinic in their area.
According to The Exceptional Nurse website, there is a critical shortage of professional and specialist nurses, not only in South Africa, but all over the world. Nurses are being stretched far beyond reasonable limits. Some 48-million people in South Africa are totally dependent upon the National Department of Health for the healthcare services provided through 351 public hospitals and about 3000 community clinics.
If you would like to know more about the store chat with Alet on 084 3021941 or Mary 082 3295087.
