The Student and Early Career Nurse (SECN) Alliance webinar is being developed in alignment with ICN's 2026 International Nurses Day (IND 2026) theme and report, “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives.”
A space for SECNs to engage with the report’s central message, that nurses have the power to transform health systems, improve health outcomes, and shape the future of care when they are enabled to practice to their fullest potential.
It will highlight how SECNs are already contributing to this vision in meaningful ways, while also creating space for reflection on what is needed to further strengthen nursing impact, leadership, and visibility.
Objectives:
-
Introduce student and early career nurses to the key message of the IND 2026 report
-
Explore how selected “powers” of nursing apply to the realities and contributions of student and early career nurses
-
Showcase practical and inspiring examples from national, regional, or local contexts
-
Encourage dialogue amongst participants on how student and early career nurses can be further empowered to shape the future of health care
