The Network of Child Health Nurses in the Americas was launched in 2006 building on earlier collaboration of a group of nurses in Latin America to study the needs for strengthening pediatric nursing curricula in the region. This Network provides a model for promoting collaboration and communication between nurses of different countries to improve pediatric nursing practice. The initial goals of the Network are to share knowledge and experience related to child health nursing in the Americas and to promote incorporation of guidelines related to the Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) in nursing curricula throughout the region. This collaborative network demonstrates the power of nursing working in a concerted way to build on its strengths and increase the capacity of nurses and health care workers to address global health priorities related to children's health care.
