Once a year, the Michigan nursing community takes time to publicly recognize these nurses at the Nightingale Awards dinner. The recognition that nurses deserve, however, does not happen without the help of others like you. We need you to nominate one or more registered nurses for the Nightingale Awards for Nursing this year. The thirty minutes it takes to create the nomination will reap months of positive good will among the nurses around you. Your role in nominating the best nurses will demonstrate to all nurses that nurses who go the extra mile are recognized and valued.
Recognition helps everyone, including nurses, feel renewed and energized.
Finalists receive a plaque commemorating their contributions. Everyone who is nominated is publicly recognized and receives a certificate at the Nightingale dinner. The Board of Visitors of the School of Nursing will again recognize outstanding service or expertise of nurses in administration, research, practice, education, home health care, long term care practice and nursing entrepreneurship. There will also be one award for an outstanding Oakland University School of Nursing alumnae in any area of practice. Please plan to come to this wonderful event to honor nursing and helps to provide support and scholarships for Oakland University nursing students.
