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.

Nurse leaders carry a lot — responsibility, decisions, people, pressure.

And too often, you’re expected to lead without real support.

That’s exactly why the Empowered Nurse Leader Summit exists.

This free, two-day virtual experience brings together nurse leaders and experts who are leading with clarity, purpose, and sustainability — not burnout.

🗓 Live on Monday, Feb 23 🎥 New pre-recorded expert interviews on Tuesday, Feb 24

If you can’t attend live, register anyway so you can watch on your schedule.

This summit is about protecting your energy, evaluating opportunities wisely, and leading boldly without losing yourself in the process.

Honouring Remembrance Day and Veterans Day

On this Remembrance Day and Veterans Day, the Council of International Neonatal Nurses (COINN) pauses to honour all those who have served and sacrificed in the pursuit of peace, freedom, and humanity.

We remember the nurses, health professionals, and countless others who, through times of conflict and crisis, have provided care, comfort, and compassion to those in need, often in the most challenging of circumstances.

As we reflect today, let us renew our shared commitment to compassion, service, and global cooperation — values that unite us as neonatal nurses and as a global community dedicated to the care of the most vulnerable.
