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. The Nightingale Event celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2010.
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 2010 will be held in Grand Junction, CO and feature the theme of “Celebrating Caring Moments.” The keynote speaker is to be determined.
