Nurses celebrating at Mona Vale Hospital
INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY
In a fitting celebration, nurses across northern Sydney were acknowledged in special events held across the district as part of International Nurses Day.
International Nurses Day is marked every year on 12 May, and after COVID-19 put a handbrake on last year’s celebrations, they were back on track in May 2021. While there were the usual awards bestowing nurse of year and team of the year across most sites, nurses at Royal North Shore and Mona Vale hospitals competed in their own Amazing Races. The assessment and rehabilitation unit claimed the crown at Mona, while the severe burns unit was saluted at Royal North Shore. Staff at Ryde Hospital were treated to a breakfast for those on night duty, and lunch for those on day and afternoon shifts.
The annual nursing and midwifery awards were held with many individual staff and teams recognised for their fantastic contribution for caring for patients. Nurses at Hornsby celebrated with food trucks for a special lunch hosted by the hospital and Watpac, builder of the stage 2 hospital redevelopment.
