THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL NURSING CONGRESS OF ARMENIA, which brings Nursing Transition to the forefront.  Our program theme is Nursing: Transition from profession to professional practice.    Nurses are a driving force for improving access and quality of healthcare: nursing leadership on a global scale is called upon to lead service change, quality improvement, patient safety, education and research.  Creating an evidence-based profession requires greater emphasis on best practices, innovation and discovery.  Nurses need to have the necessary skills, knowledge and abilities to meet the demand for quality healthcare in a rapidly changing environment.  Empowered professionals can manage the care that they deliver.
