Sherry Perkins named winner of Spectrum’s Advancing and Leading the Profession award
Of course, as nurses at AAMC, we already knew our COO/CNO Sherry Perkins, PhD, RN, was advancing and leading our profession, but now she has the award to prove it!
On June 12, Sherry was honored with the Nurse.com Nursing Spectrum’s Nursing Excellence in Advancing and Leading the Profession award. Read the full story here.
Here’s an expert from her nomination: Sherry has “completely changed the culture of nursing in our institution… If you ask anyone at AAMC, ‘What do you think of Sherry Perkins?’ the answers will range from amazing to awesome to zealous about nursing and everything in between.”
Stay tuned! In the fall, Sherry will represent DC/Maryland/Virginia in the national Nursing Excellence awards.
Sherry, we are all so proud! You have made a difference in so many ways–in this organization and in the lives of our patients and staff. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!
