Join CGN's Community Meetings to participate in an open forum for nursing professionals to connect, collaborate, and engage with the latest developments in global health nursing. Our meetings are held virtually and are open to all members of the global nursing community, whether you are currently engaged in global health work or looking to expand your knowledge and network. Be a part of the conversation and help drive meaningful change in global health nursing!
Our hour-long community meetings offer a dynamic space to:
- Stay Informed: Receive updates on CGN programs, initiatives, and new opportunities available to CGN members and/or to our larger community of nurses and advanced practice providers across the globe.
- Engage in Scholarly Discussion: Participate in our Journal Club, led by David Alfon, MSN, FNP-BC, NEA-BS, where we explore relevant nursing literature. Share insights, discuss the impact of nurse-led research on clinical practice, and reflect on the meaningful contributions nurses make in the global health field.
