According to a report published in early April by the WHO, Nursing Now and the International Council of Nurses, there are 6 million nursing professionals lacking in the world, with a real deficit in certain countries of Africa, South Asia East, Middle East and South America. On the occasion of this world day, we give the floor to nurses to collect their experiences and talk about their working and training conditions.
