With Chinese Nursing Association(CNA)re-joining ICN and the international arena in 2013,the dream of many generations of Chinese nurses comes true.This year marked a significant milestone for Chinese nursing in integrating back into the world''s nursing family.Moreover,it also brings new opportunities for the development of nursing in China.CNA was founded in 1909 and has joined the ICN in 1922.The first president of CNA,Ms.Gai Yizhen,an American Chinese,was elected as the ICN president for the year 1925e1929.However,due to historical reasons,CNA has not remained in the seats of ICN for 66 years.Basing on mutual benefits,CNA re-joined ICN in 2013.We shall act in accordance with the ICN regulations in terms of our rights and obligations.The re-joining of CNA greatly extends the representativeness of ICN as a global nursing family,and also enhances international influence through mutual and concerted effort in the development of nursing.
