The Nightingale Declaration campaign has several noble goals with the ultimate objective of creating healthy communities around the world through nursing practices that reflect the principles and practices of Florence Nightingale. The Declaration is quoted below from the web site sponsoring it. I signed the declaration in support of nurses dedicated to creating health for humanity and the planet. You can sign it by going to their web site.
The Nightingale Declaration for Our Healthy World
“We, the nurses and concerned citizens of the global community, hereby dedicate ourselves to the accomplishment of a healthy world by the year 2020.
We declare our willingness to unite in a program of action, sharing information and solutions to resolve problems and improve conditions — locally, nationally and globally — in order to achieve health for all humanity.
We further resolve to adopt personal practices and to implement public policies in our communities and nations, making this goal for the year 2020 achievable and inevitable, beginning today in our own lives, in the life of our nations and in the world at large.”
