The International Council of Nurses: Its Role and Impact

In 1899, the International Council of Nurses was founded as a nongovernmental, nonpartisan professional association to represent nurses and their interests worldwide. This organization follows a federation model, and its members are national nursing organizations. Individual nurses are connected through their national organizations and through these memberships are able to participate in issues of shared interest and importance to nurses across the globe. <b>[<i>J Contin Educ Nurs.</i> 2025;56(5):171-172.]</b>.
