| | November is a month for expressing gratitude and I am thankful for the nurses around the world who provide home-based care that helps patients remain in their homes, where they want to be, when they receive healthcare. I am also grateful to IHCNO members who have made IHCNO a premier organization for professional nurses.
IHCNO continues to experience exciting growth, and we will share our news in monthly newsletters to keep you informed about IHCNO activities, planned events, and opportunities for members to take part in projects and committees. |
| | November is National Home Care and Hospice Month in which we honor and celebrate healthcare professionals who ensure patients receive high-quality care in their familiar and comfortable home settings. The first observance in the U.S. was in 1978 when President Jimmy Carter announced November as a month-long celebration of the work of healthcare professionals in communities and homes. |
| | IHCNO’s Education Committee is comprised of international members for the purpose of leading the development of education programs and resources to enhance home-based nursing (HBN) practice. For the year ahead, we are focused on expanding our programming, perspective, and membership. Planning is currently underway for web-based programming that addresses international HBN standards, transitions of care, transcultural nursing, and technology. We are interested in your ideas. |
| | Nominate a Nurse today!The IHCNO is a supportive association of the DAISY Foundation. The DAISY award honors home health care nurses for extraordinary compassion shown to patients and families.
