iddhartha Nursing Education & Research Institute, Dehradun celebrated International Nurses Day 2026 with a Lamp Lighting Ceremony, Nursing Oath, Cultural Performances
Nurses do not just treat patients they stay beside them through the hardest moments of their lives. International Nurses Day is the one day when the world pauses to truly acknowledge that. At Siddhartha Nursing Education and Research Institute, Dehradun, this day was celebrated with full heart and genuine feeling.
How the Day Was Celebrated
The International Nurses Day 2026 celebration at SNERI brought students, faculty, and the entire institute community together for an event full of meaning and warmth. The day opened with the Lamp Lighting Ceremony one of nursing's most respected traditions, inspired by Florence Nightingale herself. Watching students hold the lamp and carry forward that symbol of care and service was truly a moving moment.
This was followed by the Nursing Oath Ceremony, where students pledged their commitment to the nursing profession to serve patients with honesty, compassion, and dedication. It is the kind of moment that stays with a student throughout their career.
The celebration also included Cultural Performances by students and faculty, Health Awareness Activities that spread important messages about wellbeing to the wider community, and Poster and Rangoli Competitions that brought out the creativity and passion of SNERI's talented students.
The Spirit Behind the Celebration
Florence Nightingale once said that nursing is an art and it requires as much devotion and preparation as any painter or sculptor. At SNERI, that belief lives in everything the institute does. This celebration was not just an event it was a reminder to every student of why they chose this path.
"Caring with compassion, serving with dedication" these are not just words. For nursing students at Siddhartha Nursing Education and Research Institute, they are a way of life.
