Nursing students are calling for an end to hostilities in Ukraine, by supporting the #NursesforPeace campaign to assist Ukrainian nurses and nursing students, and by supporting the humanitarian efforts in Ukraine and neighboring countries.
By adopting this resolution, NSNA supports healthcare workers across the world who are providing care for those in Ukraine and caring for the millions of refugees who are fleeing the war zone. NSNA encourages national nursing associations and individuals to donate and directly impact relief efforts.
NSNA constituents and members are urged to promote the #NursesforPeace social media campaign and joins nurses and nursing students in solidarity with Ukrainian nurses by promoting the campaign on their social media.
