Nursing Awards
2007 Award Winners
Celebrate nursing excellence
Honor your peers
with a nomination for an MNA award
One
of the greatest honors to achieve is the recognition of your peers.
In this fast-changing health care system in which nurses daily strive
to carry-out their duties to their patients, there is very little
time for them to acknowledge their own professional accomplishments
and those of their peers.
To
that end, the MNA has established a number of awards, established
by the membership with the approval of the MNA Board of Directors,
that offer all members an opportunity to recognize nurses who by
their commitment and outstanding achievements have honored us all.
These are often ordinary nurses accomplishing extraordinary things.
They are the nurses who challenge us all to achieve excellence.
Nominations
for these awards must be made by an MNA member. Self-nomination
is acceptable. A list and brief description of each award is provided
below.
Each
award nomination must consist of a which meets the Award
Criteria.
