Donor support sends Sigma Nurses to Congress

In July, your support helped 26 nurses from 16 countries attend the 37th International Nursing Research Congress. There, these esteemed Sigma members presented 10 posters and facilitated 20 sessions on topics such as nursing education, maternal health, nurse-led interventions, and mental health. Donations to the leadership fund enable Sigma nurses globally to network, collaborate, and promote nursing research.
