Celebrating Nursing Recognition Week (May 6-12)
People come to BWH knowing they will receive the highest quality medicine; they return home remembering the compassionate care offered by the hospital’s nursing staff. A nurse’s gift to BWH is one of compassion. Each and every day, BWH’s nurses make the hospital stronger and an exceptional place to receive care.
The entire BWH community applauds the efforts and talents of its nursing staff this month. To celebrate the contribution of BWH’s nurses and encourage their continued development and leadership at this institution, the 2001 Mary S. Fay Enrichment Award winners will be giving special presentations on May 7, a hallmark event of this year’s Nursing Recognition Week. The Enrichment Awards recognize the importance of compassionate nursing and encourage individuals to explore diverse patient care settings and bring best practices back to BWH.
Join BWH in celebrating the 2002 Mary S. Fay Enrichment Award winners, Essence of Nursing Awardee, and all nurses who help propel medical progress and patient care forward, while growing professional pride at BWH. Throughout the entire month of May, BWH Nursing Professional Development will be offering a series of festivities, educational workshops and special events to celebrate the strength and vitality of BWH’s nursing staff. Join your colleagues in congratulating each other on a job well done and encouraging one another to set new goals for the challenges and discoveries that lie ahead.
