Abstract

When nurses are recognized for the vital role they play and their contributions to a positive work environment, it helps organizations create and sustain a culture of excellence. Meaningful recognition, a critical component of the Pathway to Excellence® framework, is positively related to nurse job satisfaction and intent to stay. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) is excited to launch the inaugural annual Pathway Nurse of the Year Award™ program. The award recognizes the outstanding contributions of one direct care nurse and one nurse leader, globally from a Pathway organization, who positively impact the practice environment and exemplify at least two of the Pathway Standards by demonstrating remarkable skills in working collaboratively with team members and integrating clinical expertise with compassionate patient interactions.

Description

The authors would like to acknowledge Donia Till and Julia Powers for their contribution.
