Submit a Proposal

According to the International Council of Nurses (ICN), a shortage of nurses is a global health emergency. Especially considering the challenges of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the ICN reports that health systems around the world will only start to recover from the effects of the pandemic and be rebuilt when there is sufficient investment in a well-supported global nursing workforce. Across Asia there is also a nursing shortage, and here in Japan, the Ministry of Health has warned of a severe shortage of nurses by 2025.

Today’s nurse educators lead and promote innovations in teaching and learning, practice, policy, and research that celebrate the whole person and value new perspectives. Having demonstrated exceptional flexibility, adaptability, and courage, nurse educators continue to be called to engage local, national, and global communities, inspire others to act, and build partnerships that co-create health equity and social justice. In addition to the nursing shortage, the COVID-19 pandemic has also illustrated the difficulty that many public and community health systems have around the world to maintain access to health and biomedical informatics.
