If nurses are to make a difference in health care, they must break from the Nightingale tradition of a "good", unquestioning woman. They must become more flexible, more assertive and reflective through education.

ICN was 90 years old this year and, from all accounts, is still viable and will continue to be meaningful for nurses and nursing well into the year 2000. As it nears its 100th birthday it is only appropriate that we look back in retrospect at accomplishments, take stock of the present situation of nursing worldwide and contemplate future goals. ICN has its longterm plan (page 168), but it is flexible so that it can adapt to changing needs. Below, present and former (one as far back as 1961) members of the ICN team evaluate ICN's worthiness and suggest how it can better serve the nursing profession.

The advent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has reminded health care providers worldwide that disease and ill health recognize no borders, that we are vulnerable and that we must maintain constant vigilance in health all over the world. It has also stimulated some of the best international cooperation in medicine and nursing that I can remember, the lessons from which I hope we will apply in other areas. In our different countries, we celebrate the different cultural, political and economic systems, but I am not certain we should celebrate the difference in standards of health that exist in the world today. I believe that nursing has a duty to all humanity regardless of borders, legal systems and economic and political differences. However, I believe that there are danger signs in the international nursing environment at the moment.
