2010: The International Year of the Nurse is the centennial year of the death of the founder of modern nursing— Florence Nightingale(1820-1910).  To celebrate this historic milestone, the 2010 International Year of the Nurse is planned to be a sustained public awareness initiative 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.

The 2010 International Year of the Nurse will provide nurses with innovative opportunities to broaden the scope of their health education and health promotion practices, and to establish significant and effective global platforms. The 2010 International Year of the Nurse  is also linked to the  8 U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The entire initiative is sponsored by Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society for Nursing, Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH), and the Florence Nightingale Museum (FNM), London.
