For Life Mount Edgecombe Hospital, community education remains at the heart of promoting safer and healthier environments. The team recently visited Woodview Primary School, where educators participated in an engaging CPR demonstration and wellness screening session aimed at empowering staff with practical emergency response knowledge.

The session focused on recognising medical emergencies, understanding the importance of acting quickly, and knowing what steps to take while waiting for emergency services to arrive. Educators were also guided through basic CPR techniques, helping build confidence in responding during critical situations. In addition to the educational session, wellness checks were conducted to encourage staff to prioritise their own health and wellbeing. In partnership with Life Health Solutions, the initiative also extended to grade 7 learners' education, where important conversations were held around the dangers of va**ng and the importance of mental well-being and emotional support. The awareness sessions aimed to encourage healthier choices, create open dialogue, and empower young people with knowledge and support resources.

Could nursing be the right path for you?

Nursing sits at the heart of patient care – a profession that brings together technical skill, emotional resilience and sound judgement in high-pressure environments. It draws on your empathy and your ability to show up fully for the people who need you most.

If you’re considering a career in nursing, this short self-check is a useful starting point. It is designed to help you reflect on the qualities the profession calls for – and what a career in nursing could look like for you.

“You have to understand your ‘why’, because that is what carries you through the moments that test you.” says Nursing Standards Manager Zwannda Netshankhu.

As we continue to honour our nurses beyond International Nurses Day, three Life Healthcare nurses demonstrate how discipline and continuous learning within their multidisciplinary teams have been the power behind the care they provide to their patients.

What comes to mind when you think of nurses?

Is it their support? Their steadfast compassion? Their ability to translate complex medical information into something patients and families can better understand?

In reality, their role goes far beyond this. Nurses sit at the centre of care – coordinating multidisciplinary teams, sharing critical insights and advocating for patients at every step of their journey. The real power behind care lives in the unseen: the decisions made in critical moments, the quiet advocacy and the human connection that shapes every patient experience.

This International Nurses Day, we spoke to four nurses about their personal journeys, the experiences that have shaped them and the moments that continue to define how they care: https://www.lifehealthcare.co.za/news-and-info-hub/latest-news/four-nurses-on-the-power-behind-care-and-clinical-expertise/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=nursesday_article1_may26

Nursing is more than a profession – it’s a human connection.

This International Nurses Day, Life Healthcare is proudly supporting The Reach For A Dream Foundation’s Slipper Day by purchasing 15 000 stickers for our nurses nationwide. A simple gesture that represents compassion, hope and care beyond treatment.

For many children living with serious illness, nurses are the familiar faces who help them feel safe, seen and supported. By stepping into Slipper Day, we’re recognising the compassion our nurses show every day – while helping Reach For A Dream create moments of joy and possibility for young patients and their families.

Because the Power Behind Care is always human.
Because Making life better starts with care.

12/05/2026

Today, we honour nurses.

Before the world fully wakes, they are already there, caring for patients, supporting families and bringing calm, confidence and humanity to moments of care that matter most.

Through their skill, compassion and sound clinical judgement, nurses give a voice to patients, collaborate in teams and uphold quality care every day. In everything they do, they help make life better.

Thank you to our nurses who are the true power behind care.
