Join Us for a Tribute to Nursing Worldwide in Recognition of International Nurses Week and National Nurses Day

Nurse: A World of Care

In compelling photographs and words, Nurse: A World of Care celebrates the vital and often invisible work of nurses around the world. With introductions by former President Jimmy Carter and Marla Salmon, dean of the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing at Emory University, who also served as senior editor, the book offers a moving portrait of a profession, captured in stunning detail by photographer Karen Kasmauski and writer Peter Jaret, frequent contributors to National Geographic.

Nurse: A World of Care arrives at a critical time. Global health care is in crisis. Nursing confronts urgent challenges. This book powerfully argues that we must support nursing if we are to heal ailing health care systems and ensure that nurses will be there when we need them most.

This book was made possible by the generous support from The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing’s Future and the Lillian Carter Center for International Nursing at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. All proceeds from this book will benefit international nursing education at Emory University.
