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.

The Power of Gratitude in Healthcare: Why Say Thank You to a Nurse?

Introduction:

In the busy world of healthcare, where every second counts and challenges are plentiful, there is a simple yet profound gesture – saying thank you. As we continue our #CelebrateNurses campaign, we explore the importance of showing appreciation to the caring nurses who dedicate their lives to helping others. In this blog, we share how expressing gratitude can positively affect nurses and how you can share your experiences and thank a nurse as part of this campaign. Let’s really raise the roof and celebrate these compassionate, caring, healthcare heroes!

The Heartfelt Impact of Thank You:

A single expression of gratitude has the power to illuminate a nurse’s day, lift their spirits, and reaffirm their purpose in choosing this path to work in some of the highest pressured environments that exist. Whether it’s a genuine smile from a patient, a handwritten note from a grateful family member, a hot cup of coffee from a colleague, or a kind word from a supervisor, acts of appreciation validate a nurse’s efforts and remind them that their work is valued and cherished.

The Power of Gratitude in Healthcare: Why Say Thank You to a Nurse?

Stories of Gratitude:

Behind each nurse lies a story of kindness, empathy, and dedication. From the nurse who sat by a patient’s bedside throughout the night, offering words of comfort and solace, to the nurse who provided unwavering support to a family in crisis, their acts of compassion leave an indelible mark on those they care for. Countless testimonials from patients, families, and colleagues attest to the profound impact of gratitude in healthcare. That’s why we’ve set up the website www.celebratenurses.ie, providing one platform where the Irish public can express their thanks and gratitude to nurses. While it all culminates on May 12th with International Nurses Day, we encourage messages to be added year-round, recognising that nurses work tirelessly every day of the year.

One patient shared, 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!”

Another patient wrote, “A huge #ThankYou to all of the nurses of Ireland for their ongoing dedication to keeping us safe and healthy. Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system, and none of us would be here today without them!”

A nurse colleague expressed, “As a fellow nurse, I understand the trials and tribulations we face daily. A simple thank you from a patient or colleague can transform a challenging shift into a fulfilling one. It’s the fuel that propels us forward.”

The Lasting Effects of Gratitude:

The effects of expressing gratitude transcend the moment it’s given. Research shows that nurses who feel appreciated are more engaged, motivated, and satisfied in their roles. They experience lower levels of burnout and compassion fatigue, leading to improved patient outcomes and a healthier work environment.

Furthermore, the ripple effect of gratitude extends beyond individual nurses, influencing the entire healthcare team and nurturing a culture of appreciation and togetherness. When nurses feel respected and valued, they are better equipped to deliver exceptional care and make a meaningful impact in the lives of their patients.

How You Can Participate:

As part of the #CelebrateNurses campaign, we invite you to share your experiences and thank a nurse who has made a difference in your life. Visit www.celebratenurses.ie to leave a heartfelt message of gratitude and appreciation. Whether it’s a personal story, a memorable encounter, or a simple thank you note, your words have the power to uplift and inspire nurses across Ireland.

Your contributions may even be featured in our e-book of #thanks or inspire others to celebrate their nurse friends with a special party or thoughtful gesture on International Nurses Day, May 12th.

Conclusion:

As we reflect on the profound impact of gratitude in healthcare, let us continue to honour and appreciate the nurses who selflessly devote themselves to the well-being of others. Through acts of kindness, words of thanks, and shared experiences, we can create a culture of appreciation that uplifts and empowers nurses today and every day.

Honouring Ireland’s Healthcare Heroes: The #CelebrateNurses Campaign

Introduction:

In a country known for its vibrant celebrations and spirited gatherings, there’s one group of heroes who we feel needs highlighting – our nurses. Ireland has a ‘party’ for everything, from St. Patrick’s Day to Halloween, yet the tireless efforts of nurses, whilst always appreciated, are not yet celebrated as a group.  We need their official day International Nurses Day to be celebrated nationwide on May 12th in Ireland as it is globally.  To do this we launched the #CelebrateNurses campaign – a positive recognition initiative aimed at honouring, thanking, expressing gratitude and appreciation to the hardworking nurses who selflessly serve our communities & we want Ireland to shout from the roof-tops on May 12thwe love our nurses, let’s celebrate them.

Born from a heartfelt Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by Nurse Jobs Ireland & sister company 3Q Recruitment in 2012, #CelebrateNurses has evolved into an inspiring nationwide and online social media movement.

Join us as we shine a spotlight on these fantastic healthcare heroes and celebrate their invaluable contributions to healthcare in Ireland. #celebratenurses #thankanurse #IND2024

👩‍⚕️The Significance of International Nurses Day:

At the heart of the #CelebrateNurses campaign lies International Nurses Day, celebrated annually on May 12th. This significant date marks the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, the pioneer of modern nursing. It serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact nurses have on our lives and the enduring legacy of compassion and care left by Nightingale.

As we commemorate this day, we recognise the dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment of nurses worldwide, including those here in Ireland.

👩‍⚕️Nursing in Ireland: A Noble Profession!

Nursing in Ireland is more than a job – it is a profession – a noble profession.  A profession rooted in excellence in care, compassion and empathy. Nurses undergo rigorous education and training, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to provide high-quality care to patients. From hospitals to community healthcare settings, nurses play a vital role in promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for us all, no matter our age or ailment. Their work is not confined to clinical settings; it extends to homes, schools, and communities, touching lives in profound ways.  You may meet a nurse on the best or worst day of your life and their presence is embedded in your memories.  We don’t always get a chance in the moment of interaction to express our appreciation but the aim of the www.celebratenurses.ie website is to collect those felt but sometimes unexpressed words of celebration, thanks and gratitude. 

👩‍⚕️The Challenges and Rewards of Nursing:

Despite the rewards, nursing comes with its fair share of challenges. Nurses often work long hours, facing physical and emotional demands that can take a toll on their well-being. Yet, amidst the challenges, there is immense fulfilment in knowing that their work makes a difference in the lives of others. Whether it’s comforting a patient in pain, offering a listening ear to a worried family member, or celebrating a milestone in recovery, nurses are there every step of the way, providing compassionate care and unwavering support. It certainly takes a special kind of person to become a nurse, and we salute them!

👩‍⚕️The #CelebrateNurses Campaign: Spreading Gratitude and Appreciation

The #CelebrateNurses campaign aims to shine a spotlight on the incredible contributions of nurses and express gratitude for their tireless efforts. We aim to spread awareness through our social media and blog campaigns, whilst engaging with high profile Irish folk such as Panti Bliss and Baz Ashmawy, who spread our message on their platforms. We invite the public to join us in celebrating nurses all throughout the year, with a special focus on International Nurses Day on May 12th. By sharing stories of gratitude, offering words of encouragement, and acknowledging the impact of nursing on our lives, we hope to uplift and inspire nurses across Ireland.
