Nursing leaders have reflected on the devastating year of war. If you work in a nurse agency or if you work as part of a nursing recruitment agency, then you will know how much this has impacted the sector. If you work in a care job or if you work as carers then this will also affect you. International nursing leaders have reflected on how devastating the impact has been and this has come a year after the war in Ukraine. Tragically it is the nursing association that have suggested that over 106 healthcare workers have died since the Russian invasion. It has been very hard to focus with everything that is going on right now. Howard Catton has met with the president and they did this over video call. They have said that the anniversary has since marked the tragedy but also the accomplishments that have taken place in Ukraine. War is cruel and they have lived in the state for a year. Sometimes they have had zero power and they have also had no internet connection as well. That being said, they have endured. There have been a lot of nurses who have joined the armed forces over the year and the war right now is not over. A lot of people have seen their houses destroyed or at least they have been badly damaged. It’s a common thing for people right now is for them not to be homeless without any belongings. It is their communities that are coming together to try and help people while also ensuring that they are relocated where possible. Only time will tell what is going to happen from now on but the situation is dire to say the least and more has to be done to stop the impact of war in the future.
