The International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every May 12 to mark the contributions of nurses. China will have over 4.45 million registered nurses by 2020, according to statistics ahead of the International Nurses Day.

Every day, you may get up at 8 am, but some people just finish their busy night. Night shift nurses are one of them. This group of photos shows you what the night shift nurses are busy with every night at the First People’s Hospital of Foshan.
