Happy International Nurses Day 2019

/in , /by

Always thank your nurse. Sometimes the only one between you and a hearse. ~ Carrie Latet

 

International Nurses Day is a chance to commemorate nursing and the contribution that nurses make in improving the lives of individuals and their families. Not to mention the impact they have on the health and well-being of whole communities and the wider population. The International Council of Nurses (ICN) has celebrated International Nurses day since 1965. This year’s theme is Nurses: A voice to lead – Health for All

In January 1974, the decision was made to celebrate the day on 12 May as it is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, who is widely considered the founder of modern nursing. Each year, ICN prepares and distributes the International Nurses’ Day Kit. The kit contains educational and public information materials, for use by nurses everywhere. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Nurses_Day#cite_note-1)

The U.S. and Canada celebrate their National Nursing Week each year from 9 to 15 May each year. It was established in the U.S. by President Richard Nixon in 1974. The Canadian Minister of Health instituted National Nursing Week in Canada in 1985. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Nurses_Day#cite_note-1)

Happy St.Patrick’s Day

/in /by

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand

(Irish Blessing)

 

St Patrick the patron saint of Ireland, the subject of legends; famous for driving the snakes out of Ireland, which is thought to be symbolic of the ending of pagan worship in Ireland.

Saint Patrick’s Day is associated with everything Irish: anything green, white and gold, from shamrocks to pots of gold. For those who celebrate its intended religious meaning, St. Patrick’s Day is traditionally a spiritual day, a day of renewal. Since the holiday began in Ireland and as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history, their culture, and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. All over the world big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, “wearing of the green,” music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, colouring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

People throughout Ireland from the banks of the Liffey to the Hills of Donegal, to the distant shores or the faraway lands where many have gone to find their fortune both past and present, hold parades and festivals that celebrate the Irish culture. Local musicians perform during the parades, from street corners to barstools. St. Patrick’s Day festivals illustrate an atmosphere of the famous Irish welcome and warmth; bringing a little piece of the Motherland to the millions of Irish emigrants and diaspora who find themselves thinking of home.

They say everyone who appreciates Ireland and the Irish becomes an Honorary Irishman on 17th March with this in mind, the Staff and Management of CCM Recruitment International (a 100% Irish company) are taking this opportunity to wish you, A Very Happy Patricks Day

Whether you’re in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, London, Melbourne or other, the global recognition of St Patricks Day will bring together friends, colleagues and new faces from around the world. So where will you be celebrating this year?  And while considering your future, where would you like to be when you celebrate next year?

Happy Pancake Tuesday – Did You Know?

/in /by

Shrove Tuesday (technically its correct name) is more commonly known as Pancake Tuesday and is the first day of Lent. Today was traditionally used to get rid of s foods i.e. flour, eggs, sugar (also known as nice things), meat as well was used up during this time. These foods were usually restricted or given up entirely during the 40 days of lent. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday)

Bet You Didn’t Know This

  • The first pancake recipe that appeared in an English cookbook was in the 15th century.
  • According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “flat as a pancake”, has been a catchphrase since at least 1611.
  • The highest pancake toss ever measured was 9.47 meters, or 31 feet 1 inch. It was done by Dominic Cuzzacrea at the Walden Galleria Mall in Cheektowaga, New York, United States, on November 13, 2010.
  • The most flips that anyone has done with a pancake was 349 flips in two minutes, which was done by Dean Gould at Felixstowe, Suffolk in 1995. (Hats off to anyone who can beat that!)
  • The most people tossing pancakes was 890 and it was achieved at an event organized by the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, United Kingdom, in 2012.
  • The Guinness World Record for the most pancakes served in 8 hours by a team is 34,818. (http://tonsoffacts.com/26-fun-interesting-facts-pancakes/)
  • Pancake Races actually exist. Olney in Buckinghamshire has one of the oldest dating back to 1445. It’s said to have originated when a housewife was so busy making pancakes that she forgot the time until she heard the church bells ringing for mass. She raced out of the house to church while still carrying her frying pan and pancake. The races still happen today. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday

Happy International Day Of The Girl

/in /by

In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution to declare October 11th as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognise girls’ rights and the unique challenges they face globally. The International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the challenges faced and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights. In short, adolescent girls have the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life, not only in their formative years but also as they mature into women. www.un.org

This October 11th, the theme of the International Day of the Girl Child will focus on “EmPOWER girls: Before, during and after conflict”. Somewhere in the world, every 10 minutes a teenage girl dies as a result of violence. During humanitarian emergencies, gender-based violence often increases, subjecting girls to sexual and physical violence, child marriage, exploitation and trafficking. Girls in conflict zones are 90% more likely to be out of school when compared to girls in conflict-free countries. www.unwomen.org

The United Nations use October 11th to get people behind the cause of empowering girls worldwide so that they can have better educations, better survival rates, better protection from child marriage and sexual assault and better health services. There is 1.1 billion girls in the world, and the UN fights to help those girls who are disadvantaged and discriminated against on a daily basis. They also want to highlight the struggle facing those living through crises. The day is more than just raising awareness it is also about collecting data about girls who have slipped through the cracks, so a better understanding about how they live and what they need is gained. One of the most vital issues facing young girls worldwide is that of child, an estimated 1 in 3 girls are married before they are 18, 1 in 7 before they are 15.  metro.co.uk
