Well, I missed it

Apparently I missed International Nurses' Day. Again.

You know, not to take away from the Executive assistants or administrative assistants (who used to be secretaries) or teachers - but they used to get a day, now they get a week. And, there are ads on radio and in the paper for a couple of weeks before on how we shouldn't forget the important roles these people play. Now, I'm all for showing appreciation but.... when was the last time you heard anyone talking about International Nurses' Day?

To tell you the truth, I'd rather not have it than to have a day that no-one knows about.

I don't work in nursing any more - it's been over a year now - but I never felt that it was a day that was taken seriously. Is it just me? What do you think?
