The International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on May 12, which also marks the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, who is revered as the founder of modern nursing. The theme this year chosen by the International Council of Nurses is "A voice to lead -- Nursing the World to Health", which rings rightly with the current pandemic situation the world is confronted with.
