#InternationalNursesDay On this day, we pause to celebrate the extraordinary commitment of nurses worldwide. Every year, May 12th - the birthdate of nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale - marks a day of gratitude for our healthcare warriors. Nurses are at the heart of patient care, often working in the shadows yet shining as beacons of compassion and resilience. These past years, their roles have been especially critical, grappling with unprecedented global health challenges. It's more than a profession; it's a calling that demands an unparalleled blend of strength and empathy. As we reflect on the incredible service nurses provide, let's also consider the journey ahead. In the UK alone, reports suggest a need for 25% more nursing staff to cope with the evolving healthcare landscape. It serves as a stark reminder that whilst we celebrate, we must also advocate for their continuous support and development. It's time we give voice to their invaluable insights, invest in their growth, and ensure they have a professional environment where they can thrive. Nurses, your unwavering dedication neither goes unnoticed nor unappreciated. Today, I invite you to join me in saying a heartfelt "thank you" to these everyday heroes. Share your stories and experiences with nursing excellence. Let's amplify the respect they deserve. #NursesDay2024 #HealthcareHeroes #NurseAppreciation

This National Nurses Week, tap into the power of ethos to acknowledge the tireless hard work of nurses. The word “ethos” comes from Greek and emphasizes the distinguishing character and guiding values and virtues of a person, community or institution. Accordant's ethos approach cultivates the values and virtues of gratitude, kindness and compassion to holistically care for nurses (and all clinicians) so they can continue their noble and impactful work. Nurses devote themselves to the well-being of others, often sacrificing their own comforts. When we specifically acknowledge nurses’ service to others, we begin to shine a spotlight on their purposeful and meaningful profession. This Nurses Week, help nurses reconnect with what brought them into their healing profession. Acknowledge the invaluable role they play in health care—and be specific. Offer techniques to highlight how their empathy, compassion and kindness make a difference in the lives of their coworkers, patients, family members, community and institution. Showing compassion toward nurses can improve their well-being, engagement and satisfaction as well as protect against burnout. So as you celebrate Nurses Week, be sure to engage in ongoing discussions with your nurses about their purposeful and meaningful work and develop strategies to make compassion a priority in organizational culture.
