WHO The State of the World's Nursing 2020: The WHO report, The State of the World's Nursing 2020, is officially released. Nursing's response to the pandemic sets the stage for the world to see the valuable contribution of nurses to our countries, states, and communities. However, there are times when data and a thoughtful analysis helps as well. On April 7th, the World Health Organization released a report, The State of the World's Nursing 2020. Using nursing workforce data submitted by 191 countries, this report puts forward an agenda to strengthen the nursing profession.

The International Guidelines for Home Health Nursing Practice (Guidelines) are guiding principles for nurses who aspire to provide excellent care to patients in their homes. The Guidelines were developed by international home care nurses from diverse countries to provide guidance to nurses around the globe who seek to develop their professional home healthcare practice and performance.
The International Home Care Nurses Organization (IHCNO) seeks to advance home care nursing around the world by providing a platform where nurses can support and learn from one another. We define “home care nurses” as nurses who provide care to patients in their homes. Home care nursing’s patients include those with acute or chronic health problems, no matter how young or old. Patients include those receiving hospital-at-home, skilled, private duty and palliative services, and many other types of care provided in the patient’s home. We recognize that home care nursing is a specialized area of nursing practice and we seek to support nurses in home healthcare clinical practice, education and research.
We are a dynamic and committed network of home care nurses. We do not share your name or personal contact information with any other organization. Joining means receiving our email updates and participating in our network as desired.
