The Nightingale Challenge

In addition to the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, 2020 also marks the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth on May 12, 1820!


To honor and advance Nightingale’s legacy as a nurse and social reformer, SONHS accepted the 2020 Nightingale Challenge, a global movement to equip and empower the next generation of nurses and midwives as leaders, practitioners, and advocates in health.
