Nurses in the Whitsunday region were congratulated on Thursday, which marked International Nurses Day for the work they do within the local community.
The Proserpine Hospital hosted an afternoon tea and presented special awards to local nurses to acknowledge the positive influence they have not only patients’ lives but also on the lives of their families and friends.
Acting director of nursing and facility manager Donna Martin said all nurses should be proud of themselves and International Nurses Day is a time to reflect and pay tribute to them.
“They go above and beyond the call of duty. It is important they know they are respected and acknowledged for what they do,” Ms Martin said.
Proserpine Hospital clinical nurse Tina Badenhorst was awarded the Mackay Health Service District Nurses’ Nurse award last week as well as the Peta Watson memorial trophy for the positive work she brings to the hospital staff’s team.
