Sonia Marshall MACN takes to Twitter to share why she is proud to be a nurse
As nurses, we belong to a group of expert professionals passionate about improving the lives of others. During December, we challenged you to reflect on what makes you proud to be a nurse and to share it on Twitter using the hashtag #NursingNowAustralia as part of the Nursing Now Australia Challenge. Thank you to the those nurses who stood tall and shared just how proud they are to be part of our profession ❤️. We have selected ten of our favourite tweets to share with you below.
