Celebrate Nurses: How it Started

Welcome to our digital hub, where you can share heartfelt ‘thank you’ messages and stories of appreciation for nurses around the world!

Back in 2012, Nurse Jobs Ireland, in collaboration with its sister company, 3Q Recruitment, launched the #CelebrateNurses campaign. What began as a simple Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative honouring 10 nurses on International Nurses Day has grown into a powerful movement celebrating the dedication and hard work of nurses everywhere.

Over the years, we’ve:

·         Published three editions of our ‘Thank You Nurses’ e-book.

·         Organised workplace celebrations that bring communities together.

·         Garnered tremendous support from people who value and love our nurses.

This campaign is now a digital hub where anyone can come to share their gratitude for the nurses who faithfully care for us and our loved ones when we need them most.

2025 Theme: “Nurses Strengthen Our Economies”

This year’s theme, “Nurses Strengthen Our Economies,” shines a spotlight on the vital role nurses play, not just in our healthcare systems, but also in the strength and stability of our communities.

Nurses have consistently shown resilience, compassion, and unmatched skill, often serving long hours in demanding conditions. Their contributions go beyond patient care and leave a significant impact on our society and economy.

Here’s How You Can Join the Celebration

We are gearing up for International Nurses Day on 12th May, and we’d love for you to join us in showing appreciation for these frontline heroes! Over the coming days, we’ll share articles, social media posts, and touching stories highlighting the challenges and triumphs of nurses in healthcare today.
