A number of activities are taking place regionally as professional nurses from across Guyana join in the observance of Nurses’ Week.
The week of observance began on Sunday, with their participation in a worship service held at the Guyana Nurses’ Association, Alexander Street, Georgetown.
According to Director of the Guyana Nurses Association, (GNA), Grace Bond, the activities are aimed at promoting and recognizing the contribution of nurses in Guyana.
“International Nurses Day 2014 was observed under the theme ‘Nurses: A Force for Change, A Vital Resource for Health’ and therefore our activities will be hosted with the theme in mind…. A number of lectures will held at the Georgetown Public Hospital for Nurses, of which a continuing education programme, was held today (yesterday). We also have a number of health initiatives and social events, which will be the closing feature of Nurses’ Week,” Bond said, as she explained that this week nurses are being honoured and celebrated for the fulfilling their mission at the hospitals, with patience, commitment and excellence.
According to the Director, programmes will also be broadcast via the radio and television in keeping with the week of observance.
“Today a health outreach was held outside of Fogarty’s, where a group of nurses conducted blood pressure testing, glucose testing, and Body Mass Index (BMI) tests….Our other events include other outreach programmes, visitation and distribution of hammers for four retired nurses, a luncheon, a live radio programme, a social event, and a prayer breakfast.”
Lectures/discussions on the empowerment of nurses, critical thinking in nursing, and concept-mapping in nursing and evidence-based practice in nursing, are scheduled to take place.
Primary and Secondary school students will also benefit from health discussions scheduled to take place at four selected schools.
In addition, nurses in Region Six will be treated to a trip to the Splashmin’s Resort, dinner and other social activities. Nurses in Region Ten, who started the week with a church service, will conclude the exercise with a trip to Lake Mainstay Resort on Sunday.
