The Jordanian Nurses Network
Bringing Nurses Together
|
|
Background and Motivation
Nurses and midwives are the backbone of the health care system as they
comprise the largest group of health care professionals, thus, any
instability in the supply of nurses and midwives to meet the health care
demands of the population they serve is a serious threat to the quality
of care provided to people. The contribution of nurses to meet the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and deliver effective quality care
has been recognized by the WHO.
Since human resources are the most valuable asset in Jordan, the focus
should be directed towards the proper investment of health care
professionals in the health care industry at the national level as well
as at the regional and global levels. The development of the nursing and
midwifery services is a vital component of health care systems and
health services development.
With the leadership of Her Royal Highness Princess Muna Al- Hussien, the
JNC plays a significant role in improving the quality of nursing and
midwifery practice and education in Jordan. JNC establishes the
Jordanian Nurses and midwives Network as one approach to connect nurses
and midwives together and advance nursing and midwifery practice and
education.
The Jordanian Nurses and Midwives Network is a practical step forward in
addressing nursing and midwifery and strengthening its contribution to
the national, regional and global health agenda.
JNC is keen to support the work of nurses and midwives in all areas of
practice, education, leadership and research and to promote
opportunities for exchange of ideas and expertise

Purpose:
The Jordanian Nurses and Midwives Network is an evolving and dynamic
resource that will provide a forum
where a range of nurses and midwives can share their expertise and
thoughts with colleagues from around the country. A key purpose of the
network is to share information and stimulate discussions, and to
provide a source of expertise on relevant professional issues.
The Jordanian Nurses and Midwives Network will empower nurses and
midwives in the education and practice sectors as well as leadership
positions by expanding their professional opportunities and networking
to exchange ideas, policies, issues, experiences, best practices and
research.
