Trusted, dedicated, passionate and committed - we owe nurses a debt of gratitude not just during Nurses Week 2016, but 365 days a year!
What does it mean to be a nurse?
Being a nurse; not everyone can do what you do.
You put nothing in front of the care of your patients.
Being a nurse isn’t something you can fake.
You provide the strength for your patients when they need it the most.
Being a nurse means you are sympathetic, considerate and supportive about the health and wellbeing of others.
You see people at their lowest and work to build them up.
Being a nurse means you are committed to excellence.
You are selfless, when no one else chooses to be.
You are a nurse. Thank you for all that you do.

Nursing has and will always be a passion of mine. It is a field that requires alot of training, education and perseverance. It's no surprise that getting into a university to study nursing sciences is so competitive. I myself have been trying to gain acceptance into nursing sciences for 3 years now. But I do have to admit it's a bit harder here where I live. In South-Africa the nursing degree is only found as a university level bachelors degree that takes 4 years to complete and a 5 year working in a public hospital. All nursing collages have been closed down due to the restructuring of the curriculum. What makes it even harder is that the universities that provide a Batchelors in nursing science are a select few who accept a very limited number of students. An example is the University of Pretoria who only accepts 50 first years. This has lead to a massive shortage on nurses and a huge strain on the public health system. Placing even more pressure and responsibilities on the nurses shoulders. Even though the demands for nursing has grown the universities are always full and many people with the grades and will to become nurses never get the chance. I am also a big example of this as I am currently studying a different bachelors degree and I have applied for a transfer, however due to admin errors I did not get accepted and due to the limited number of students that can be accepted, they could not place me. I am still fighting to be able to start my studies as a nurse and I won't give up. Besides, what other choice is there when it's your passion. I have wanted to study abroad but full scholarships for nursing are almost non-existent and the rand is fearly weak, making studies abroad extremely expensive. Nursing is a field that very dearly needs to be focused on and invested in. I won't give up on joining the ranks nurses. For the work that they do is invaluable and highly important. Requiring intilect, patience, emotional intelligence and persiverence. And this is highly overlooked. Thank you to all the nurses for making the world a better place, with almost no praise and the biggest hearts.
