Abstract
To say 2020 has been difficult and challenging is an understatement. Signalled the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife, in the bicentenary of Florence Nightingale's birth, we thought there would be celebrations, filled with joy and time for reflection. 2020 has diverged far from this plan. Across the world, individuals, families, and communities have been devastated. Moreover, it is evident that our work as nurses is becoming more challenging during these unprecedented and uncertain times. COVID-19 has not only created illness and suffering but propelled the world into a serious global economic recession and laid bare cracks in society with many traditionally underserved and vulnerable people suffering more.
