The Caribbean Nurses Organization stands as the oldest professional nursing body in the Region and serves as the premier voice for Nursing in the Caribbean. CNO seeks to influence health and nursing policy regionally, to empower its national nurses’ associations (NNAs) in the Region to work on behalf of nurses, nursing and the peoples of the Caribbean. Our aim is to unite nurses in the Caribbean and diaspora. As we continue to celebrate our 65th Anniversary, we reflect on our rich legacy and salute our founding members and highly esteemed past executives on whose foundation, we continue to build. The Caribbean Nurses Organization joins local citizens, regional and global partners in applauding the valiant efforts of nurses during the COVID 19 pandemic. More than ever, 2020 brought into focus just how important nurses are across the Region and across the world. The CNO Board of Directors thank you for going over and beyond always to meet the needs of the populations that we serve and for the contributions that you make to health systems strengthening in our region and beyond. Your service, sacrifice and selflessness, coupled with your compassion and technical skills, do make a difference. As we move forward in this new term of office, the CNO Board of Directors remains committed to strengthening its strategic partnerships and affiliations for strengthening of nursing and health systems in the Region. Cognizant of emerging health issues, persisting health and social challenges at local, regional and global level, our strategic priorities will focus on the following i) increasing nursing’s contribution to achievement of universal health coverage (UHC) and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) (ii) increasing support for our membership iii) building a sustainable financial model for the organization, and (iv) advocacy for health and human services. As Nursing is a dynamic field that evolves over time, CNO remains committed to encouraging evidence-based practice (EBP), innovative ideas and creative advances that seek to improve outcomes for patients and populations and advance the profession. Additionally, CNO encourages inter-professional education for nursing and midwifery students, use of technology, continuous professional development, improved accreditation standards and capacity-building. Further, CNO supports review of nursing workforce and working conditions in the Region to inform policy & practice. As we go forward as ambassadors of our noble profession, it is hoped that our individual and collective efforts and investments as members of our regional professional nursing body will continue to yield dividends that propel the organization forward. Remember, our organization is only as strong as we make it to be. We look forward to your continued support and engagement, as we seek to build a legacy that will illuminate the landscape of healthcare in our region and inspire future generations to enter our profession. May God bless you and your families, as we continue to serve the peoples of the Region in our various domains.
