"A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone—no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make—can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Ultimately, the health and well-being of nurses influence the quality, safety, and cost of the care they provide, as well as organizations and systems of care." - The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Nurse Well-being Resource, National Academy of Medicine

Join our dynamic panel of international nurse leaders as they examine the role of nurse workforce in delivering quality and safety in the context of the State of the World's Nursing Report 2025. What are the greatest challenges we face as a profession? Where should our priorities lie? And what does the nursing workforce - from leaders and policy makers to clinicians - need to do to achieve the strategic direction outlined in the Report?
