Nurses all across the world commemorate International Nurses Day on May 12 every year. Some of them had beloved nurses as children, while others coiled at the sight of blue scrubs. Some had sweet smiles and soft expressions, and they never forgot our treat as we walked out the door. While others had warmer grins and kinder faces, it reminded us of the day we were jabbed in the eye with a sharp syringe while looking out the window. We know it was all for the best, though. Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare sector, dressed in scrubs, stethoscopes in their pockets, and a doctor’s most trusted ally.
