Evergreen knows that our nurses are the key to outstanding patient care. The annual Nursing Excellence Awards recognize five exceptional registered nurses who have performed beyond expectations and who have contributed to Nursing as a profession.
Individuals are nominated by their peers, in one of three categories:
Clinical Care: Excellence in direct-care delivery in any clinical setting
Innovation/Creativity: Innovative and creative contributions that have improved patient care
Patient Advocacy: Going beyond the call of duty to advocate for patients
The winners are selected by nursing managers and supervisors. They are honored during Evergreen's Nurses Week celebration.
