Mission

From the conception of the Global Caring Nurses Foundation (GCNF), the Board of Governors intended this to be a participatory effort and for the Foundation to become the international conduit of gift giving of ourselves, resources and a model of cooperation for other professional nursing organizations, hospitals, community leaders and entrepreneurs. Our aim is that through collaborative leadership we can achieve a common goal in meeting the hopes and aspirations of our colleagues and for all Nurses to Be.

 

GCNF focuses on the three essential areas for the capacity-building of the healthcare workforce globally:

1. Strengthen the capacity and effectiveness of the International Nurses to thrive through Collaboration and Coaching

  • To administer programs and services to facilitate an easier transition of International Educated Nurses and their expatriates into a different culture and environment
  • To provide coaching and mentoring to the newly relocated International Nurses and new nursing graduates from diverse culture

2. Global Nursing Articulation

  • Administer and provide funding to the International Nurses to complete requirements necessary to transition to American Nursing Practice and Culture
  • To award scholarships/financial support for academic and professional development in nursing and other related healthcare specialties to promote quality in global healthcare and excellence in education and leadership.

3. To support and conduct research, educational and informational activities to increase public awareness of the Foundation’s mission and vision

  • Increase and sustain the commitment of donors supporting the globalization of nursing profession
  • Encourage the global healthcare professionals and businesses to embrace the Pay it Forward concept

Vision

The Global Caring Nurses Foundation will become the internationally recognized, preeminent philanthropic organization that supports the fulfillments of dreams of underserved nursing students and International Nurses from communities around the world.
