ERNS created an infrastructure with Research Interest Groups (RIG). We share information about the ENRS Family/Community-Based Participatory Research

Deadline for IFNA Communications Survey extended to
March 14. This survey inquires about your preferred social media channels and your ideas for how IFNA can harness the power of social media to better link IFNA members with each other. The current response is only 25% so your response will help make the survey responses more representative of the IFNA membership. The Survey takes 7 minutes or less to complete. (If you require the Survey to be resent to you, please contact Debbie Zaparoni in the IFNA office: debbie@internationalfamilynursing.org).  IFNA values your feedback.

Current IFNA membership statistics: 353 members from 26 countries. Renew your IFNA Membership today.
