SKMC Marks The International Nurses Day

Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) will participate in the International Nurses Day which is celebrated every year on May 12.

The theme for Nurses Day at SKMC this year is “Nurses Caring for a Healthier tomorrow”. SKMC’s nurses from all nursing specialties have organized a number of activities and celebrations which will involve presentations for all SKMC staff highlighting the strength of SKMC nurses’ cultural diversity and their role. The program will also include the presentations on women’s health, health and fitness, and volunteering experiences by numerous nurses.

A recognition ceremony will also be organized for the inaugural group of SKMC nurses who have achieved recognition at levels of advanced nursing practice and expertise on the SKMC Professional Nurse Clinical Ladder. This clinical ladder identifies five levels of nursing practice demonstration, with levels 3, 4, and 5 being those of advanced practice and expertise.

Commenting on the International Nurses Day, Mrs. Tarey Ray, Chief Nursing Officer said, “SKMC is constantly evolving its nursing practices to assure a high-level standard of quality patient care. Nurses advance the profession and their own career through participating in Link Nurse Activities, Shared Governance Committee work, continuing education, social and patient advocacy, implementing evidence based practices and serving as mentors to each other and to new nurses to the profession.”

“We are pleased to mark the International Nurses Day with our nurses as we continue our journey toward Magnet recognition, and our efforts to provide excellent patient care and experience. We are very proud of our nurses,” Mrs. Linda Haskins, Director of Nursing stated.
