International Year of the Nurse
The 2010 International Year of the Nurse (IYNurse) is the centennial year of the death
of the founder of modern nursing — Florence Nightingale (1820-1910). To celebrate
this historic milestone, the 2010 IYNurse was established to actively involve the
world’s nurses — estimated to be more than 15 million — in a celebration of
commitment to bring health to their communities, locally and worldwide.
