Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Nursing Excellence Awards
Summary:
SickKids celebrates the accomplishments of our 2024 Nursing Excellence award recipients who lead from where they care.
The Nursing Excellence Awards recognize SickKids nurses who have demonstrated dedication, distinction and commitment to their profession, and to our patients and families.
This year there were a total of 24 awards handed out to individual staff members and nursing teams, allowing SickKids to honour many of our outstanding nurses in a variety of categories.
The theme of Nursing Week 2024 was lead from where you care, and the awards aptly recognized that this kind of leadership happens no matter how experienced you are and no matter where you are in your career journey.
The Nursing Excellence Awards and the Elizabeth McMaster Inspiration Award are made possible thanks to generous endowments from the families and friends of Grace Evelyn Simpson Reeves, Maria Györössy-Csepreghy Kluge and Iris Weiss.
