VPNG wish all Perioperative Nurses a happy International Nurses Day. Yes, it coincided with Mothers' Day, and it's on a Sunday. But today, and every day, we are in operating suites across the State of Victoria, caring for the community.
We turn up for our patients, we advocate for them, we care for them and often we will be either a foggy memory (anaesthetics/recovery nurses) or someone they never knew was there for them (scrub/scout nurses).
But we know we were there yesterday and today, and tomorrow and every day after that we will be there.
And we could not be more proud of our colleagues👍.
