“Our Nurses. Our Future. The Economic Power of Care”

CelebrateNurses is proud to unveil its 2025 #CelebrateNurses campaign, a heartfelt national tribute to the remarkable nurses across Ireland. Aligned with International Nurses Day on 12th May 2025, this year’s theme—“Our Nurses. Our Future. The Economic Power of Care”—highlights the invaluable contributions nurses make, not just to our health and wellbeing, but to the strength and sustainability of our communities and economy.

A Digital Space to Say Thank You
Through celebratenurses.ie, the public is warmly invited to leave messages of appreciation, share personal stories, or post images celebrating nurses who have touched their lives. These tributes will be brought together to form a moving mosaic of gratitude for those who give so selflessly, day after day.

The Future is in Caring Hands
This year’s global theme recognises nurses not only as compassionate caregivers, but also as visionary leaders at the heart of policy, innovation, and long-term health system transformation. Their dedication fosters healthier outcomes, strengthens local communities, and relieves the economic burden on our healthcare system.
Nurses are the beating heart of our healthcare services. Their impact extends far beyond the bedside—it is strategic, transformative, and deeply human. Their commitment to care is helping to shape a healthier, more equitable future for all.

Join the Movement
CelebrateNurses is not just a campaign. It is a nationwide movement to honour, uplift, and champion nurses. Participation is free and open to everyone.

Whether you’ve been personally supported by a nurse or simply wish to express your appreciation, you can get involved by visiting https://celebratenurses.ie.

Nurses show up for us in ways that matter—every single day. This campaign is about acknowledging their care, their strength, and the role they play in shaping a better future for all of us.

As we approach International Nurses Day, CelebrateNurses hopes to illuminate the profound economic impact that nurses continually contribute through their compassion and expert care.
