There are over 7.5 billion people in the world but only 19.3 million nurses.
Fewer nurses could mean life or death for acute care patients.
Nurses can help you live longer, healthier and even happier lives.
While technology and research advances so too does the knowledge and intelligence of our nurses – from tertiary study and clinical placement to continuing professional development.
Why? Because education improves care.
Many nations share a common problem:
In a world without nurses, who will care for your loved ones? Who will manage people with chronic illness? Who will look after you? Why should you care? You should care.
