About this event:
The Nursing Now Ontario Awards ceremony will celebrate the contribution of nurses who improve the health outcomes of Ontarians and who contribute to nursing practice. Awards will be presented to one winner in three categories: nurse practitioner (NP), registered nurse (RN) and registered practical nurse (RPN).
Entries were judged by a volunteer panel of nurses. The three awards will be presented during Nursing Week at a virtual ceremony on May 12 at 2 p.m. ET to this year's winners:
- NP Lori Palozzi
- RN Ellie Neary
- RPN Sarah Goodreau
The Nursing Now Ontario Awards leverages and supports the goals of the Nursing Now campaign, a global initiative led by the World Health Organization and the International Council of Nurses, aimed at raising the profile and status of nursing. The campaign calls on governments, health professionals and service users to value nurses and champion their leadership in providing the best quality of care. It's about supporting nurses to lead, to learn and to strengthen the profession, in both clinical practice and political leadership.
