The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Human Caring
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.
Registered nurses throughout the state are nominated in the fall of each year by solicitation from the Colorado Area Health Education Centers System (AHEC) and the Colorado Springs and Western Slope Nightingale Committees. Fifteen finalists are selected by the regions and forwarded to the State Selection Committee, who determines the recipients. Each region also hosts a local event for their nominees.
Nightingale 2009 will be held on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at the Renaissance Hotel in Denver. The announcement of the recipients at the gala Nightingale Event is the highlight of the evening. Each recipient receives a commemorative bronze sculpture of Florence Nightingale.
