Nurses “devote their lives to caring for mothers and children, giving lifesaving immunizations and health advice, looking after older people and generally meeting everyday essential health needs. They are often the first and only point of care in their communities.” 1

To recognize this extraordinary work, the World Health Organization has partnered with the International Confederation of Midwives, International Council of Nurses (ICN), Nursing Now, and the United Nations Populations Fund to establish 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife. 1

To achieve a goal of universal health coverage in the next decade, 9 million more nurses and midwives are needed globally. 1

Seizing this opportunity, the ICN and Nursing Now “are urging world leaders to make massive investments in nursing and midwifery to pave the way for a brighter future for health around the world”. 2

Nursing Now Co-chair Lord Nigel Crisp adds, “The evidence is clear… investing in nursing and midwifery will make an enormous contribution to the rapid, cost-effective and high quality scaling up of universal health care.” 3

The Year of the Nurse and Midwife offers nursing an opportunity to articulate “the amazing difference nurses can make…when they are properly supported and well educated,” states ICN CEO Howard Catton. 2 ICN President Annette Kennedy urges nurses to share their stories about what it means to be a nurse, explaining that “increasing the public’s understanding of who nurses are, what they do, and the amazing contribution they make to the societies they live in, will help us to ensure that the legacy of 2020 will go on for years in the shape of more and better supported nurses providing essential care in the communities they serve.” 2

How appropriate that the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife occurs in the same year as the 200 th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth (May 12, 1820 in Florence Italy). 4

Nightingale transformed nursing through her tireless work and writings –she shared the stories of what it means to be a nurse. Two centuries later, it is up to us to fan the flame sparked by the Lady with the Lamp. It’s time to celebrate! This year, among many other activities, Carilion Nursing will celebrate nursing scholarship at the Art & Science of Nursing Showcase (May 11, 2020) among other Week of the Nurse activities throughout the system, and the Nursing Research Conference is being planned to celebrate Nursing’s rich traditions.

This edition of Within REACH highlights nursing scholarship, disseminates evidence and best practices, and celebrates the REACH and impact of Carilion nurses locally, nationally, and globally. Join us in this edition as we launch our own Year of the Nurse and Midwife Celebration!
