Congrats to all of the winners and all of the nominees. Thanks to all who attended and to all who were working to take care of our patients. It is always such a great night of celebration. The videos were excellent and the music play list was great (thanks Jill!!). I knew we had amazing nurses but who knew we could carry such a tune!

Best celebration of Nursing yet! Every year gets better and better. Congratulations to all the winners and all the nurses for jobs well done.
Oh my gosh, I had no idea! I am simply thrilled to represent WSU. With graduation coming soon, this is the icing on the cake for me and my career here at AAMC. Thank you for recognizing my dedication to the institution, my patients, and the staff I work with everyday. I humbly accept.

Congratulations to all the award winners. loved the video part of the night(always do). Next year bringing more people to get more votes!!!!!
WOW!! What a great testimony about nurses and who we are today. The Nursing Dinner was spectular with so many great stories, fun, and truly supported by our medical team, community members. Just giving so many scholarships to the best of our team members says so much. Thanks Sherry providing the opportunity for nurses to be recognized among their colleagues, and supporting us to be proud of all our accomplishments as nurses. We tend to move forward and never reflect on our excellence in care.
