title: Partners in the community.
abstract: TO MARK this year's International Nurses' Day and the theme chosen by the International Council of Nurses (ICN)--Partnership for Community Health--Kai Tiaki Nursing New Zealand profiles ten nurses who work hand-in-hand with their communities. Our search for suitable people took us from Auckland to Queenstown, from small rural settings to large metropolitan areas. Our final selection presents two Plunket nurses, a district nurse, a diabetes nurse specialist, a community midwife, an oncology nurse specialist, a caregiver, a practice nurse, a mental health nurse and a rural emergency nurse practitioner.
