Longevity of ICN
Members of the ICN have shared the difficulties of the nursing profession from the conception of the global federation, an example of which is sister Agnes Karll, who described the conditions under which nurses were working in during the First World War, stating that “the only thing we nurses are trying to do is endure the hard times, helping our surroundings as far as we can, and hope for better times to come in the future.”(Karll, 1923).
During these early years, the ICN was collecting information about nurses and nursing from its member NNAs, and then distributed appropriately among other NNAs and groups it would be beneficial to influence, including local governments and the general public.

The first Nursing Times Careers Live event in 2021 will be held virtually in March, with eight events planned throughout the year
The year is well under way, spring has just about arrived and we are looking forward to bringing you our first careers fair of 2021. Over the next nine months, we plan to bring you eight of our Nursing Times Careers Live events.

Hopefully, you managed to attend one of the virtual fairs using our Swapcard online platform.
