Nurses’s Week/ Month 2023

Greetings to all, as we celebrate Nurse Week/Month 2023, I wish to extend to all a Month of reflection and celebration . Reflections on the past 3 years and the effect of the Covid Pandemic that  tested our resilience and commitment. Many of our nursing colleagues around the nation lost their lives while taking care of patients infected with the Covid disease. Many have left the profession because of burnout and feelings of not being respected and appreciated.  Through it all many remains steadfast to the call of their profession.

During the week of May 1-12 nurses need to focus on Self Care . Invest in yourself, in so doing you will be able to take care of others. Nurse need to take the time to take care of their health first, eating right, sleep more , exercise and know when to ask and seek help and get support when you reach that point where you find yourself struggling to get through the day.  Stay connected to friends , be not afraid to take a break and know when to say no, and make time to do the things you love.. 

As we go through this month I wish each and every one a memorable  Nurses’ Month . Remember take care of you first so you can take care of others.
