Salma Sharhan is the first Emirati nurse in the UAE.

“They made fun of me but I treated them” -Salma Said

Salma Salem Al Sharhan was born  in Ras Al Khaimah in the early thirties also known as “Florence of the UAE”, in recognition of her 520-year career in nursing. She was named after the celebrated English nurse, writer and statistician who laid the foundation of professional nursing with the establishment, in 1860, of her nursing school at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. She is not married and her brother died  few years ago and now she lives in Saif Bin Ghobash hospital in Ras Al Khaimah, which is considered her home. She was given a Permanent room there and also the Ministry of Health decided that they will not retire her where she will receive her full salary.

Salma did not study nursing, but when she was fourteen years old,  one of the sheikhs in Ras Al Khaimah made her a nurse, where he trained her and taught her the definitions of some of the tools used at the time in treatment. She treated at the Nakheel Pharmacy in Ras Al Khaimah which was a pharmacy composed of three rooms and a clinic. The clinic belonged to the British Council where it was based on the care of the health sector in the UAE, and then she was trained her by first doctor in Ras Al Khaimah which was a British named “Fayroz” , where taught her all the basics of nursing. Then they moved to the Palm Hospital, which was opened in 1961 by the British Council.

Salma’s advice to all the nurses out there is to preserve the secrets of patients and to welcome them with a smile always, and to put up with them because the nursing profession requires great patience .. We wish that all the nurses follow her advice and we would like to say that we are proud of her; she is a role model that we should learn from her as she opened the way for the UAE women to work in the field of Nursing. Also, Salma stressed that the most important thing is to maintain the ethics and also work hard in serving the UAE..

Recently she won Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Award for Medical Sciences as an appreciation for her work.

Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, the Ruler of Ras al Khaimah and a member of the UAE’s Supreme Council of Rulers, was the world’s second-longest serving monarch after King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, and the oldest. Said officially to have been born in 1920, he belonged to the same generation as the late Sheikh Zayed, the founder of the nation. During his 62-year reign, Sheikh Saqr oversaw the transformation of Ras al Khaimah from a wild desert landscape into a thriving international city.

“In modern times,” writes Wilson, “Ras al Khaimah is widely credited as having the most educated national population in the lower Gulf, and this is directly as a result of Sheikh Saqr’s policies as far back as the 1950s.”

“When I talk, I talk about Dubai,...

“When I talk, I talk about Dubai, but we have to talk about the whole UAE as a country. We do things in Abu Dhabi, we do things in Dubai, we do things in Sharjah. But the completion will be great for the UAE” – Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid

^^ This was said yesterday in an exclusive interview in Kentucky by Sheikh Mohammed. Hearing it continuously made me relate. Yes when I talk  I talk about Dubai, and when you talk you talk about Abu Dhabi, and when she talks she talks about Sharjah, and when he talk he talks about Ajman, and when they talk they talk about Fujairah. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE WHOLE UAE AS A COUNTRY!

How many time have you asked someone “Where are you from?” and this someone says “Umm AlQawain, Dubai, Sharjah … ” You know what is wrong with this answer? (you’ll say nothing) but there is something wrong .. You are from the UAE and You are an Emirati!

We are one country so we might as well act like it!
