A very huge thank you to all the nurses who leave their families home to take Care of other families at Forest Hills Healthcare Center in Ohio. May God bless us all. Long live nurses, long live CommuniCare….
The nurses in Beaumont Hospital have essentially looked after the majority of my family at one stage and I want to say thank you. You’re all so fantastic and are very much appreciated.
I would like to leave a message of thanks to a wonderful, and irreplaceable paediatric diabetes nurse, Niamh O’Rourke.
When my daughter was first diagnosed, Niamhs voice was the only one that made sense to me. The reassurance and support from day one is something that still makes me emotional.
Niamh has managed to educate and support myself and my family, in ways I never thought possible. She ensured that at no point, would my daughters life would have to change for Diabetes. She assured us that diabetes will have to fit into her life.
Her honesty and integrity, her strength to fight and be the voice of so many children, is something many could not match if they tried. And she does it all, not for a thank you, just to know we are taking steps and leaps forward in our children’s diabetes management.
Niamh is, an amazingly beautiful person inside and out. Her care and tenderness is infectious. Her dedication and ability to push for change, is inspiring. Her passion is something to be in awe of.
So, thank you Niamh, from the bottom of my heart. You have changed the lives of my family members for the better, I know you have done so for many other people. You have advocated for our children in amazing ways. We can never repay you, but we are here, full of appreciation and understanding that without you, our children wouldn’t be the children they are today.
It takes a very special nurse to make a 2 year old happy about a hospital appointment and Niamh O’Rourke of Mullingar Paediatric Diabetic Clinic is that person, and more wonderful than I can put into words! My daughter LOVES going to see her and our 4 year old always wants to come too…to see Niamh!
She genuinely and wholeheartedly loves and cares for my daughter, we feel so safe in her care.
She goes above and beyond the call of duty, we are just so lucky to have her in our lives.
From the moment we met her she made us feel safe and calm, she has a beautiful smile and a contagious positive attitude to such a life altering event, she empowers Mammy and Daddy and makes our 2yr old feel like a Superhero! She means the world to us!
Niamh, we love you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you!! ♡

Huge thank you to all nurses in Beneavin Lodge nursing home and Temple Street who helped the family through the hard times.
A big THANK YOU to all the nurses that looked after my mam in St James hospitals.
your all amazing & make such a big difference! THANK YOU
On a dark wet January night, there was a knock at ma’s front door. It was Mary. Armed with a smile, a hug and a large overnight bag, she was settling in for the night.
But Ma and Mary had never met before.
You see, Mary was a night nurse with the Irish Cancer Society. She was there to provide end of life care for our lovely ma and to make sure she was comfortable throughout the night.
We never knew this type of support existed. A highly skilled nurse with the equipment to administer instant pain relief and she stays overnight?!
It’s impossible to put into words the difference Mary made, not just to ma but to me and my sister too. Mary put ma at ease, from responding to her every need to reassuring her she’d be honoured to stay with her another night.
Ma never met Mary again. She was moved to Our Lady’s Hospice in Harold’s Cross the following day and spent her final days under the care of the amazing team there. But she was so thankful to Mary and the difference she made.
You never know when you or your loved ones will need a Mary…
Thanks to all the nurses in St Frances Hospice Blanchardstown who looked after my sister so well, they were so kind and went above and beyond their duties!
Thank you to all the nurses around the world! The gifts that keep on giving!
I cannot thank the nurses at Cappagh Hospital enough for the incredible care my Dad received while he was going through a knee operation. It was at Christmas time a number of years ago, and all of the nurses on his ward made myself and my brothers (who were a lot younger at the time) feel a lot more at ease and comfortable. They really made the whole process easier to deal with and I’ll never forget their compassion towards both my dad and us. He still talks about you all to this day and how you looked after him so well outside of visiting hours when he had no family at his bedside. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the dedication and hard work you all put in each and every day!
Thank you, nurses all over the world! Your hard work, kindness, and selflessness inspire us. We appreciate your unwavering dedication, especially during these tough times. You are true heroes, and we are grateful for your service. Keep up the amazing work!
Hello there! Today is International Nurses Day, and I just wanted to take a moment to give a shoutout to all the amazing nurses out there. You ladies and gents are the backbone of the healthcare system, and your dedication and compassion are truly inspiring.
Especially in the past year with the pandemic, I’ve seen how tirelessly you’ve worked on the front lines, often putting yourselves in harm’s way to care for others. Your commitment to your patients and their families is truly admirable, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.
We owe an enormous THANKS to all of our nurses for the great care they give, often in very challenging situations.
Our nurses brought us through the horrific experience of Covid at a time when their own health was at great risk.
Yet, they tirelessly cared for those who were sick.
Thank you for the contribution you give so generously.
With much appreciation.
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the hard work you do every day. Your tireless dedication to caring for your patients is nothing short of inspiring, and you make a real difference in the lives of so many.
Whether you’re working long hours on the front lines of a pandemic or supporting patients through their most challenging moments, your commitment to providing excellent care never wavers. Your compassion, expertise, and professionalism are invaluable, and I am truly grateful for everything you do.
Thank you for all that you do, and please know that your efforts are deeply appreciated by so many.
