NANN continues to celebrate the Year of the Nurse in 2021!
Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) deemed 2020 the Year of the Nurse and Midwife (YON) in celebration of the 200th birthday of Florence Nightingale. Given current circumstances throughout the world, the WHO has extended the Year of the Nurse into 2021. NANN is excited to take this opportunity to further highlight the outstanding contributions of nurses from all over the world and the amazing strength and fortitude they have demonstrated throughout the challenges of the last year. Join our celebration by getting involved with all that NANN has planned!
