Council of International Neonatal Nurses

Council of International Neonatal Nurses COINN is the only international organization for neonatal nurses, established in 2005. Our specialty is relatively rare but important to newborns.

COINN is dynamic ever changing to meet the needs of neonatal nurses, neonates and their families. COINN officially incorporated in 2005 to act as the voice for international neonatal nursing and care. It is not an individual membership driven organization but rather a group that assists in working on global heath policy, advocacy, building capacity, and developing regional networks throughout the

world, for nurses who specialize in the care of newborn infants and their families. Some of the nursing associations have become members of COINN thus giving their members access to COINN for education, practice, or research. This page is about sharing stories about neonatal nursing care, education, and research and building community.
