The Nightingale Award for Excellence in Human Caring |

The Nightingale Awards event 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.
Registered nurses throughout the state are nominated in the fall of each year. 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.
The Western Colorado Nightingale Event in 2009 will be held in Grand Junction, CO and feature “Stories from the Art and Soul of Nursing” by Carolyn Smeltzer, Ed.D., RN, FAAN. Dr. Smeltzer is the author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives, the Stories of Nurses (2005).
