Planning your Events


As of October 2009, more than 20,000 individuals from 110 nations—including 1,000 who represent millions of constituents—have declared grassroots support for the 2010 IYNurse as a catalyst to increase public awareness about the priority of health worldwide and to support the United Nation's action plans to achieve a healthy world by 2020. 

Follow the steps below to plan your 2010 IYNurse grassroots-to-global events:
