Celebrating International Nurses Day: Honouring the Heart of Healthcare

At Outright Nursing Care Agency, we are proud to celebrate International Nurses Day — a global recognition of the tireless work, compassion, and resilience of nurses across the world.

Observed every year on May 12th, the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, this special day shines a spotlight on the critical role nurses play in delivering quality care and improving health outcomes — from hospitals and aged care homes to community health programs and home care services.

💙 Why We Celebrate

Nurses are the backbone of healthcare systems. They are the first to respond and the last to leave, working around the clock with professionalism, empathy, and unwavering dedication. In the face of challenges like staff shortages, emotional fatigue, and increasingly complex care needs, nurses continue to show up — not just as caregivers, but as advocates, educators, and leaders.

This year’s International Nurses Day theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. The Economic Power of Care” (ICN 2025), highlights the economic and societal value of investing in nursing. It calls on governments and organisations worldwide to strengthen healthcare systems by supporting and retaining a skilled nursing workforce.

👩‍⚕️ A Tribute to Our Outright Nurses

At Outright Nursing Care Agency, we see the extraordinary impact our nurses make every day — in aged care homes, disability support services, and private residences across Australia. They bring not just clinical expertise, but a warm smile, cultural sensitivity, and a deep sense of purpose.

To our agency nurses:

Thank you for choosing to care.
Thank you for representing our values in every shift.
Thank you for making a difference — one patient, one family, one community at a time.
