International Nurses Day
“I always knew that my job would be something where I could help others. That is how I became a nurse.” And that is how the story of many nurses begins.
Never just a job
Being a nurse is never just a job. It is always more than that – it is a mission, often demanding and tiring but certainly beautiful. Marika Zajec, who has been a nurse for 30 years, reflects on her work: “Sometimes I wonder if I would choose differently if I had to do it all over again, because of the nature of the work and the demanding schedules. But I have no regrets. I have worked in a hospital for years, where I experienced the gratitude of patients day after day, sometimes just for a warm touch, kindness, and often, when they were leaving after successful treatment.”
Expertise and compassion
The work of nurses is never just about medical care, it is also about supporting the patient when they need compassion and understanding, a hand to hold on to in difficult moments. “Now my job is in the primary health center, where I work with children and adolescents. The work here is completely different. But I still see how important it is to be not only professional but also human, approachable, friendly, and to accept everyone as they are.”
Happy Nurses Day!
Thank you for your professional care, but above all for your heart and compassion!
