Recommendation

The COVID-19 pandemic is ushering in transformations in the nursing profession and offering an opportunity for broad changes in health care. While the crisis response has placed massive strain on nurses, it also has prompted a new appreciation for nurses’ capabilities and potential contributions. In a comprehensive white paper, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) reports on the pandemic’s impact on nurses and outlines a vision for more accessible, equitable and sustainable health care systems, where nurses play a leadership role. ICN represents 130 national nurses’ associations and some 27 million nurses around the world.

Take-Aways

  • Nurses bring high levels of education and skill to their important – but often undervalued – roles.
  • In the International Council of Nurses’ vision for health care, all members of society partner to work toward health.
  • Giving nurses a greater voice will contribute to healthier people, communities and economies.
