“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every nurse for the compassion, strength, and commitment you bring to your work. Whether at the bedside, in the classroom, or in leadership, your contribution is deeply meaningful and truly transformative. Your role in shaping the future of healthcare, through practice, education and research is admirable. You are the heartbeat of healthcare, and your impact is felt far and wide.”

“To all the Nurses that gave up their whole social lives and making effort into saving the world and making a difference. Your dedication, expertise makes a huge difference in countless lives. Thank you for your tireless efforts, unwavering compassion and commitment to caring for others.”

“Real nurses care through their healing touch, observing gaze, attentive listening and deep empathy. A caring attitude is fostered through self-care and care from others. Care for our nurses to maintain the cycle of care!”

“To my fellow nurses across South Africa and the world. We know the weight we carry. we know the tears we quietly wipe away, sometimes from our patients, sometimes our own. We know what it means to keep showing up, even when our bodies are tired and our spirits stretched thin. and yet, we continue. Not because it is easy, but because we were called. Let this day be a reminder: what we do matters. The care we give, the comfort we bring, the dignity we restore, all of it sacred. we are more than caregivers. Stay strong. stay kind. keep the faith. Because we are nurses, and nurses care. Happy Nurses Day”

“Nurses embody the essence of the art of caring through empathy, active listening, creating meaningful connections and companion care. Taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy, happy and resilient in life. Intentionally practice habits that support your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Happy nurses’ day!”

“To all the incredible nurses. You are the heart and soul of healthcare. Your compassion brings healing often in moments of vulnerability. Nurse educators: Your remarkable duty in influencing the next generation of nurses with knowledge, patience and vision is beyond measure. Nurse researchers: You play a critical role in advancing healthcare by generating new knowledge and ensuring evidence based practices to improve health outcomes.
