Despite wars, political and economic chaos and racial and religious strife the International Council of Nurses (ICN) has been held together for 100 years by a “special glue” concocted by dedicated nurses. Its ingredients: friendship, collegial support and enthusiasm. Today ICN is still thriving, leading and representing nurses from all over the world. Below, a part of its fascinating history based on Nurses of all Nations: A History of the International Council of Nurses, 1899–1999 to be published this Spring by Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
