The recent bombings in various regions of the country posed many challenges for nurses. In these critical conditions, nurses not only fulfilled their responsibilities towards patients but also left their children alone at home. Monijeh Ahani, the educational supervisor of Hakim Children's Hospital, and Maryam Amini, the head nurse of Mohab Kowsar Hospital, are among the nurses who displayed examples of selflessness and sacrifice in these difficult circumstances.
Nurses' Sacrifice in Critical Conditions
Monijeh Ahani says about this: "We were in contact with patients and their families at the hospital and knew that they needed care. In these circumstances, our priority was to save the lives of patients." She recalls how, while performing her duties, she often thought of her children and worried about them. This feeling not only increases mental pressure but also puts nurses under intense pressure to fulfill their duties.

Challenges Arising from Bombing
Maryam Amini also states: "During these days, my children were alone at home, and I couldn't be with them because of my duty. However, every time we saved a patient's life, I felt that this work was valuable and in a way, I was serving my children too." This feeling of selflessness and sacrifice reflects the deep commitment of nurses to their profession and patients.
In conditions where bombings threaten the lives and security of families, nurses, by prioritizing the needs of patients, represent everyday heroism in the health sector. These stories not only recount their selflessness and sacrifice but also remind us that in crises, humanity and empathy can illuminate the light of hope in hearts.
