Dear Editor,
Our nurses and healthcare workers have spent the last year plus due to the COVID-19 pandemic working under extremely trying conditions, but have shown continued commitment and dedication to their jobs.
Especially now, nurses and healthcare workers are more deserving than ever of community support, respect and appreciation. That's why we want to make Nurses Week 2021 one to remember even though we are faced with the ongoing pandemic, we the nurses give God thanks for his many blessings in sustaining us through these difficult times.
Our nursing profession requires dedication, commitment, empathy, and compassion to nurse sick patients back on their feet. I salute all of our nurses for their dedication, hard work, and resilience. Nurses must have the ethical and professional responsibility to provide quality healthcare services to all people and strive for excellence.
My vision for the future healthcare is for nurses and healthcare workers to be united and involved with the various sectors and government with policy-making.
Thanks to all nurses and healthcare workers in every area in healthcare for their
dedication, commitment, and hard work.
Happy Nurses Day to all!
God bless you and be safe.
Nurse Mavis Rombley
President of St. Maarten Nurses Association
