Message from the Barbados Nurses’ Association Article by Greetings to the nursing fraternity in Barbados ! Today, the President and Executive Committee of the Barbados Nurses’ Association greet all nurses in Barbados on our special day celebrating International Nurses Day. The theme for this year is “Nurses A Voice To Lead: A Vision for Future Health Care”. International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightengale. Nurses have spent the last year working under extremely trying conditions but have shown continued commitment and dedication to our jobs. The future of healthcare and ultimately patient’s access to care, will be tied to innovations in the field of nursing making this extremely relevant and timely for 2021.
