__________________________________ The Global Nursing Review Initiative: Policy Options and Solutions was launched in March 2004 in response to the global nursing crisis. Led by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and its sister organisation the Florence Nightingale International Foundation, and supported by the Burdett Trust for Nursing, the project aims to clarify the extent of the global nursing shortage; provide an analysis of key nursing workforce issues globally; identify priorities for policy intervention; and develop recommendations to address issues. Project Components Reference Group The reference group is a key component of the project and its members play an important advisory and consultative role. The group members are listed below: Jonathan Asbridge Gilles Dussault Marilyn Elegado Lorenzo Thembeka Gwagwa Silvina Malvárez Ken Sagoe Ragnhild Seip Judith Shamian Sissel Hodne Steen Duangvadee Sungkhobol Piyasiri Wickramasekara Representatives of the World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland The Global Shortage of Registered Nurses: An Overview of Issues and Actions The overview represents the first output from ICN's

Nurse leaders from research, management, practice and education joined representatives from health sector planning and human resources development to exchange ideas, opinions and solutions on priority workforce issues.
