Australians rally together to thank nurses on International Nurses Day

“Compared to being a nurse in the Philippines, I think nurses here are more appreciated than in the Philippines. Even now [Filipino nurses] amid this crisis, they are still not viewed as one of the important professions in the country, they are still asked to volunteer. When I moved to Australia I noticed nurses are more appreciated.”

“I think the best thing is when you see a patient getting better and they’re ready for discharge, when they’ve improved a lot and are really healthy and you can see that you’ve done a really good job.” "I want to thank our nurses for what you do every single day. You see it’s not only coronavirus, our nurses are in a battle everyday against accidents, burns, cancers, heart disease, schizophrenia, MS and so many other illnesses. And our midwifes are there for every birth, helping mums at that most precious time,” Mr Morrison said in a video posted to social media.

“Last year my friend was in hospital, she was very sick but you made her feel really calm and reassured her every step of the day,” Im said. “You were there every day with my grandma for the last three years of her life. You made her feel safe, you made her feel comfortable, you had a lot of funny heated, spirited debates with her and when she did pass away, you were there at the funeral," he said in the video.
