For 2025, the International Council of Nurses has chosen the theme for International Nurses Day as “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies”. This theme underscores the critical role a healthy and secure nursing workforce plays in strengthening economies, improving health systems, and ensuring better outcomes for communities worldwide.
