The Nightingale Awards event was founded in 1985 to honor nurses who best exemplify the philosophy and practice of Florence Nightingale.  Registered Nurses throughout the state are nominated by solicitation from the Colorado Area Health Education Centers and Colorado Springs in the fall of each year.  Each region hosts a local event for the nominees. Finalists are selected by the regions and forwarded to the State Selection Committee, who determines the recipients.  Nurses are nominated by their peers, supervisors and people they have cared for in our community.  Click here for a nomination form.
