title: Nursing regulation moves ahead.
abstract: Since its creation in 1899, ICN has had a major and legitimate interest in the regulation of the profession. It has supported the passage of appropriate nursing legislation and, through studies, seminars and publications, has consistently sought appropriate and effective regulation. Its strongest effort in this area to date has been "The Nursing Regulation: Moving Ahead" project launched in 1988 with the support of W.K. Kellogg Foundation and other development agencies. And now after 11 workshops involving 77 countries around the world, the project team takes a recapitulating look at the project's evolution and promising outcomes.
