On International Nurses Day, social media was filled with notes that were full of gratitude to our front-line staff. Many Bollywood celebrities used their social media to thank them for the long hours and risk in their lives to keep their patients safe.
Recently, on her Instagram account, Priyanka Chopra paid tribute to the COVID-19 warriors amid the pandemic and even talked about her grandmother who was a nurse. My grandmother was a nurse. Seeing firsthand the disinterest of the medical community has been a great lesson for me. In the unprecedented times we have lived we have all seen these traits, and each of us likely has a history of the selfless work of the nurses we have lived.
Every day, nurses around the world put the welfare of others before their own, and this incredible act of self-denial should not go unnoticed. One of you. We are blessed to have it. # InternationalNursesDay.
Recently, Priyanka and her husband Nick Jonas managed to raise over $1 million for Covid-19 relief.
