Enhancing Knowledge Resources and Networks Connecting Through Knowledge For Global Health

STTI will continue providing evidence-based nursing knowledge solutions through global and inter-professional collaboration, events and access to knowledge resources. As members strive to improve global health, there are knowledge resources and opportunities available:

The Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library - This free, electronic knowledge repository links nurses and other health care professionals to one another.

Events - Check with local chapter and regional representatives to find out what is scheduled in your area. Also consider the annual International Nursing Research Congress, the Biennial Convention and the newly offered Leadership Summits.

The International Academic Nursing Alliance - This free online community offers nursing school faculty access to educational and research resources.

Social and Professional Networking - Online communities such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have created new ways to communicate, collaborate and associate with one another.

Online Communities of Practice - These communities bring like-minded members together to interact and share knowledge.

Scholarly publications such as the Journal of Nursing Scholarship, Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing and Reflections on Nursing Leadership help keep nurses connected to the latest research and endeavors undertaken by their nursing colleagues.

Visitors can find resources that help nurses help others at Nursing Knowledge International (NKI). For example, outstanding continuing nursing education courses are available, as well as books that cover many topics, including leadership, evidence-based health care design, retirement and etiquette.
