We want to celebrate those who consistently put others before themselves through hard work and dedication to their job of being a nurse. Hudson Valley Magazine is proud to bring you the 4th Annual Excellence in Nursing Awards, so that we can all take the time to recognize the lengths that these individuals go to in order to provide the best care for their patients.
The recipient of an Excellence in Nursing Award is someone who might be called a guardian angel, who has pursued higher education and worked with the families of those who are ill in order to improve the lives of others. We here at Hudson Valley Magazine would like to honor those nurses at our Excellence in Nursing Awards Ceremony whereby the magazine will pay tribute to the winners and give them the recognition that they deserve.
During the 2011 National Nurses Week the magazine will formally honor the award winners at a special celebratory dinner in May. The nominations are open to their supervisors at hospitals and health care facilities, who work with the nurses who go above and beyond to make a difference. The Top 20 nurses chosen will be profiled in the May issue of Hudson Valley Magazine.
If you know a nurse who you think deserves to be recognized at Hudson Valley Magazine’s Excellence in Nursing Awards 2011 please complete the nomination form and fax it back to 914.592.0049.
