Welcome to celebrate International Nurses Day with the theme "Our nurses. Our future." on 12 May at Arcada.
International Nurses Day has been celebrated by the International Council of Nurses since 1965. However, it was not until 1974 when 12th May was chosen to celebrate this day to coincide with the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale.
This year the day will be celebrated at Arcada with a seminar where several interesting speakers will discuss and reflect on the nursing profession today and in the future. The event takes place at Arcada's campus and is free for everyone.
Due to a limit of seats to this event, enroll by registering with the following link External link.
If you have questions, please contact Terése Sjölund, degree programme director, Nursing.
You are welcome to take part in the celebration!
