The Patient Choice Award
Nominate an Individual Nurse or a Nursing Team
In 1999, to further recognize exceptional nurses caring for patients, the Nightingale Awards of Pennsylvania added another accolade, The Patient Choice Award. In the Spring of that year, a press release was issued asking patients to write a letter describing a nurse who has touched their lives or the lives of their families in an unforgettable way. One nurse was chosen from the many letters which were received and we've been requesting to hear your stories ever since!
After witnessing the amazing efforts of our front-line nurses during the pandemic, we have expanded the award category to include a team award. Please consider honoring either an individual nurse or a nursing team (unit) to receive this prestigious recognition.
Spread the word using our Patient Choice Poster.
Email the poster to anyone who might be interested in nominating a nurse, pass it out, or hang it on the wall at your facility.
