International Nurses Day is celebrated around
the world every May 12, the anniversary of Florence
Nightingale's birth.
The IND theme for 2016 is:
Nurses: A Force for Change:
Improving health systems' resilience.
Dr. Sumaya Mohammad Al Beloushi,
director of nursing at the Ministry of Health and
Prevention said:
“Currently, out of the 4,800 nurses in the Ministry of
Health and Prevention Hospitals across the country, only 334 are Emirati.
Totally, across all health care sectors in the UAE, about 1,000 Emirati nurses
from both genders are employed”.
Celebrate the diversity to people in the occupation of
nursing. Bear in mind that there are nurses from different social and cultural
backgrounds plays a crucial role in conveying medicinal services.

Ways Nurses Can Treat Their Feet Right:
Feet literally carry you through life, bear your weight and
take you places.
If you are nurse, you are constantly on your feet, from
eight hours to sixteen-hour shifts. The
importance of the feet cannot be over-stated. Despite their importance, the
feet are often neglected. So what can you do to treat your feet right?
Baths and Pedicure:
Always wash
your feet when you shower, and be sure to give them a good scrub.
Bathe your
feet with Epsom salt or other organic bath salts for an extra enjoyable bath.
Mix few
drops of organic lavender essential oil for a relaxing scent that also fights
foot fungus.
After
washing your feet, trim and file your toenails regularly. Good care of your
feet prevents in-grown toenails. In-grown toenails are extremely painful. Effective
foot care routine that you turn to a regular habit will leave you with gorgeous
feet.
Foot Massage:
Take a step further and you have reflexology: foot massage
geared toward relieving certain ailments in the body.
The principle of foot reflexology is a map for the entire
body.
One part of the foot corresponds to a body part, such as the
edge of the foot connects via nerve endings to the spine. If you massage
certain areas, you can sometimes trigger healing of a body part.
Massage the arch of the right foot to target your liver and
aid in detoxification.
Foot Cream
Combine coconut oil with a few drops of peppermint oil. The
peppermint and coconut oils are antibacterial and anti-fungal and help to
combat foot odor. They leave the feet feeling silky, moisturized and refreshed.
Rest Your Feet
Give your
feet a nice foot bath, massage your feet.
This will
help blood flow and circulation to your feet that will soothe them and help
prevent soreness.
Magnesium
Spray magnesium right on your feet and legs. Prevents
soreness and soothes your muscles. It’s an overlooked part of foot care that
you should incorporate into daily routine.
Intensive Care
Calluses are
completely common among nurses because they walk constantly.
Painful and
unsightly though, a foot bath in Epsom salt is effective.
Scrub at the
calluses with a pumice stone. Rinse your feet in apple cider vinegar. Repeat
the process.
At night,
apply a foot crème consisting of peppermint oil and coconut oil to the affected
area. Cover the area with a bandage. Your calluses will be gone in days if you
repeat this process regularly.
Never neglect your feet:
Feet are among the most important parts of the body. Like
the roots of a tree, they support us, and we should repay them with tender
care. Make foot care a part of your daily beauty routine and be sure to get plenty
of rest for your feet. Massage your feet often, whether at home or work.
Join the celebration of International Nurse Day (IND) and
care for the caretakers…!!!!
