“Nurses and other health workers are at the forefront of COVID-19 response – providing high quality, respectful treatment and care, leading community dialogue to address fears and questions and in some instances, collecting data for clinical studies. Quite simply, without nurses, there would be no response.”

Reiterating on the need for more training as one of the relevant ways to celebrate those in the profession, the ADNS made mention that the government can do a lot in giving nurses the opportunity to access trainings locally and internationally, “nurses would be more enlightened by experiencing what obtains in other climes and adapting it to their practice back home; and this can only be achieved when funds, grants and sponsorships are available.”
