The Western Colorado Nightingale Committee is seeking nominations of registered nurses for the prestigious Nightingale Award for Excellence in Human Caring by Dec. 4.
If you know a nurse who displays a personal and professional commitment to clinical expertise, leadership, and community service, consider honoring him/her with your nomination. The nominee must be an RN currently practicing in Colorado or retired from practice in Colorado and may not be a previous recipient of the state award.
The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Human Caring was founded in 1985 to honor nurses who best exemplify the philosophy and practice of Florence Nightingale, a 19th century nursing pioneer who epitomized the art of helping people toward their optimal health.
For the past 25 years, registered nurses throughout the state are nominated by peers, supervisors and friends for this prestigious award. Fifteen finalists are selected at regional events and forwarded to the State Selection Committee, who determines the recipients. Finalists are recognized at the gala state Nightingale Event in Denver each May.
An initial letter of nomination and a completed nomination form must be postmarked by Friday, Dec. 4. Forms may be downloaded at http://home.mesastate.edu/~kreuss/Nightingale.htm.
The Western Colorado Nightingale Event will be held on March 20, 2010 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Grand Junction. The theme of the evening is “Celebrating Caring Moments” and will feature Karen Taylor Good, acclaimed singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker. Tickets are $50 and underwriting and sponsorship opportunities are available at the website above or by calling Terri Walter at 257-2363.
