title: Whither ICN on its 90th birthday.
abstract: ICN was 90 years old this year and, from all accounts, is still viable and will continue to be meaningful for nurses and nursing well into the year 2000. As it nears its 100th birthday it is only appropriate that we look back in retrospect at accomplishments, take stock of the present situation of nursing worldwide and contemplate future goals. ICN has its longterm plan (page 168), but it is flexible so that it can adapt to changing needs. Below, present and former (one as far back as 1961) members of the ICN team evaluate ICN's worthiness and suggest how it can better serve the nursing profession.
