Mediscrubs is proud to acknowledge and celebrate International Nurses Day 2021 (IND). We are privileged to support nurses no matter where you live and work in Australia. On International Nurses Day (IND), Mediscrubs are calling on us all to acknowledge and celebrate the critical contribution nurses and midwives make in caring for the sick within our community each and every day. Nurses have been at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19 in Australia and across the world and are continuing their selfless work by staffing vaccination centres. Today we acknowledge their extraordinary dedication and commitment, which for too many has come at a tragic cost, with over 3,000 nurses losing their lives throughout the pandemic to date. Mediscrubs are happy to support our healthcare workers by providing the best medical apparel and nursing scrubs including men’s and women’s scrubs; classic tunics and modern lab wear.

Significance

International Nurses Day now has greater significance than ever because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses are working tirelessly to treat patients and have become the backbone of hospitals and healthcare systems around the world. The day was created so we can honour and pay tribute to all the nurses around the world who have and are doing an incredible job in keeping people healthy. Nurses have a diverse role and are responsible for carrying out several tasks in the workplace. They administer medicines to patients, write their care plans, assist with evaluations and tests, and set up blood transfusions and drips. They also maintain patient records, train juniors, and organize staff to maintain a friendly and efficient work environment in hospitals and clinics.
