Worldwide survey of nursing issues.
Taking the international nursing pulse rate via questionnaire has been a biennial task at ICN since 1991. By learning about its members' more pressing concerns, ICN can better respond to their needs in way of specific programmes, documentation, workshops or even a special task force. Although efforts have been made to increase the response rate, it continues to be under half of total ICN members (112 in 1994). Below, the responses from 46 members, or 43% of membership, representing seven regions worldwide, regarding nursing issues, priorities and activities during the 1993-94 period.
