One user said, "Thank you to all the frontline nurses!" Another user said, "Nurses... the lifeblood of health care. They're angels in disguise, giving hope to their patients, and their families. The doctors may chalk out the treatment, but it is the nurses who hold the patient’s hand and help them bear through it all, and keep their smiles and spirits alive. They save lives because they care. To every nurse out there, we thank you for your selfless service, for your care and your strength. We salute you. You’re not a hero, but so much more! Happy International Nurses’ Day!" A user said, "To all sisters, matrons, and staff nurses a thousand pranams."
