Year Of The Nurse 2020

“Taking Stock” Webinars

To celebrate Year of the Nurse, WFPICCS is organizing two “Taking Stock” webinars – Taking Stock of PedsICU Nursing which will solely focus on PedsICU and pediatric/neonatal nursing.

The webinars will cover some pertinent topics and each question will address the high resource setting and low and middle resource setting perspective.

We also have some regional ‘snapshots’ that outline the steps to becoming a PICU nurse in the different countries, the pediatric nursing specialties if relevant and the country profile from the latest State of Nursing report.
