Nurse Exemplar Program
The nurse exemplar program recognizes and rewards extraordinary nurses who demonstrate a special way of advocating for families, caring for children and teaching their colleagues. Each year, staff members nominate their peers to become recipients of 11 different nurse exemplar awards:
- APN Exemplar (recognizing an outstanding Advanced Practice Nurse)
- Expert Clinical Nurse
- Family Advocate
- Family Educator
- Formal Nurse Leader
- Nurse Consultant
- Nurse Humanitarian
- Nurse Leader
- Nurse Preceptor
- Nurse Researcher
- Nurse Mentor
The selection committee will be comprised of the Reward and Recognition Committee members. Awards are presented at an annual hospital ceremony. Each winner receives an engraved gift and a stipend that can be used to pursue professional endeavors. This program highlights the art of nursing and recognizes its importance in the delivery of top-notch patient care.
