At ACNN and COINN, we believe that every neonatal nurse should have the opportunity to attend and benefit from our global conference. To make this possible, we invite you to contribute towards supporting a fellow nurse to attend COINN in Darwin. Meet our scholarship recipients here.

Your generous donation—no matter the amount—can make a difference by helping cover registration fees, travel, and accommodation for someone who otherwise may not be able to participate.

About COINN

The Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc or COINN is an exciting organization that represents nurses who specialize in the care of newborn infants and their families or have a special interest in this area of nursing. COINN (Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc), pronounced just like the money-currency or a coin – acts much like money as a method of exchange of information among countries. COINN (Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc) is part of the growing international community of nurses that represents a resource for nurses that want to form a national or local organization, create guidelines for care or professional standards or just want advice on neonatal nursing issues.
