These words, written of the nurses who served in war, carry a truth that transcends time. Steady hands in uncertain places. Gentle kindness in the hardest moments. Showing up, fully, quietly, completely, for the person in front of them. It is a spirit that lives on.

Nurses are the ones who stay. Who sit with the frightened and speak calmly into chaos. Who carry clinical precision in their hands and deep humanity in their hearts. Who work through exhaustion, witness suffering, and return the next day ready to do it all again.

They are advocates, educators, diagnosticians and caregivers - often all at once, often without recognition.

The uniform has changed. The foundation hasn't.

On this ANZAC Day, we honour the nurses who came before, and we thank every healthcare worker who continues to carry that legacy forward. Today and always.

Lest we forget.

From Annapurna to Pokhara, and beyond, our Nurses In Action volunteers have spent recent weeks doing what they do best - rolling up their sleeves and showing up for communities across Nepal. In various health camps our volunteers saw and treated children, adults and elderly community members with comprehensive and compassionate care. And when we say comprehensive, we mean it!

Our volunteer nurses and midwives delivered:
💙ECG checks and cardiovascular assessments
💙Blood draws and vital signs monitoring
💙Respiratory assessments
💙Psychiatric and mental health screenings
💙Endocrine condition checks
💙Pelvic floor and breast screenings
💙Dental assessments including cavities and tooth decay
💙Skin checks covering acne, dermatitis, dandruff and more
💙Hypertension monitoring
💙 and so much more 💙

From young children to grandparents, no case was too small and no person turned away. Watching a child receive care they may never have had access to, or an elderly community member finally have their blood pressure checked - these are the moments that remind us exactly why our work matters.

To every nurse and midwife who gives their time, their expertise and their heart - thank you. You are what makes Nurses In Action.

Nepal is a country of extraordinary communities, rich culture and resilient people. And our Nurses In Action volunteers are privileged to work alongside local health workers there - supporting and strengthening the healthcare that already exists, and helping extend its reach to more people.

When you volunteer with NIA in Nepal, you work as part of a team delivering hands-on clinical care and community health education.

Here's what that looks like in practice:
💙Providing primary healthcare assessments and treatment
💙Running education sessions on hygiene, nutrition and preventative care
💙Building capacity alongside local health workers through knowledge sharing
💙 And SO much more!

For volunteers, a NIA program is one of the most professionally and personally rewarding experiences of their career - deepening clinical skills in a different environment, building cultural competency, and gaining hands-on experience that broadens your practice in ways that stay with you long after you return home.

Some things about being a nurse genuinely feel like April Fools jokes… until you realise they’re just part of the job.

From missed breaks to constantly being on your feet and thinking about your patients long after your shift ends, nursing is unpredictable, demanding and somehow still so rewarding at the same time.

If you’re a nurse or nursing student, you’ll get it.

Nurses In Action programs are more than just a placement, they're a real, hands-on experience in communities that genuinely need support.

From health camps seeing hundreds of patients to school programs and community outreach, every day is an opportunity to step into real-world healthcare. You’re not just observing, you’re learning how to adapt, communicate and provide care in environments that challenge and grow you in ways you don’t expect.

Our programs are designed for nurses and healthcare workers who want more than theory, offering structured opportunities that build confidence, perspective and practical skills that stay with you long after you return home.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something like this, this is your sign to take the next step.

Applications are open, and placements are limited, apply now: https://worldyouth.org.au/forms/program-application

POV: you came for the placement… but left with so much more.

The culture, the people, the moments you didn’t expect, it’s these parts of the experience that stay with you long after you leave. As a nurse, it changes the way you see care, connection and what healthcare looks like beyond the systems you’re used to. It’s more than a volunteer program, it’s a perspective shift.

For nursing students and healthcare workers, this placement abroad in Nepal offers hands-on experience through a volunteer program, combining global health exposure with real cultural immersion.

There’s nothing like seeing the world through the eyes of those we serve. While in Nepal, our latest group of Nurses in Action volunteers visited the World Youth International School, and the experience was unforgettable.

From connecting with students to learning about local healthcare needs, every day offers inspiration, growth, and a deeper understanding of the impact of compassionate care.

We are so grateful for our volunteers’ dedication = thank you for bringing hope, health, and happiness wherever you go.

To Our Nurses in Action Volunteers - Thank You for 2025 ✨

This year, 113 nurses and healthcare professionals chose to step beyond their day jobs and into communities that needed them most.

Across Kenya, Uganda, and Nepal, YOU showed up - not just with skills, but with compassion, humility, and heart.

In 2025, you:
💙 Cared for hundreds of patients through hospitals, clinics, and community health camps
💙 Educated approximately 800 students per placement on hygiene, nutrition, sexual health, and mental wellbeing
💙 Reached the elderly, disabled, and house-bound through community outreach
💙 Supported health services across 3 countries, often in challenging and unfamiliar environments

But numbers only tell part of the story... Behind every stat is a patient who felt seen, a student who learned something new, a family who felt supported, and a nurse who chose to care beyond borders.

We are incredibly thankful and proud of each of you. Thank you for giving your time, your expertise, and your heart in 2025. We can’t wait to continue this journey with you in 2026.
