Christiane Reimann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christiane Reimann (born May 6, 1888 in Copenhagen , † April 12, 1979 in Syracuse , Italy ) was a Danish nurse, nursing scientist and general secretary of the International Council of Nurses (ICN).

Christiane Reimann completed her training as a nurse from 1916 at the Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen. Nine years later, she received her nursing diploma, as well as a bachelor's and master's degree, each of which she had acquired through study visits to the USA. In 1922 she joined the International Council of Nurses (ICN), whose first full-time Secretary General she was from 1925 to 1934. In this role she led the ICN congresses in Helsingfors in Finland, in Detroit and in New York City. She also succeeded in including the Chinese nurses in the ICN. Christiane Reimann spent her twilight years with her family in Syracuse, Sicily. There she died at the age of 92.

Due to Christiane Reimann's services to worldwide health and nursing affairs, the Christiane Reimann Foundation launched the “ Christiane Reimann Prize ” in 1985 . The first recipient of the award was the US nursing theorist Virginia Henderson (1897–1966).
