This year, the \”DFW Great 100 Nurses\” list includes 29 nurses from Texas Health Resources hospitals. This is actually the highest total for just about any hospital or health system in North Texas.
\”Every day patients and their families across North Texas take advantage of the compassionate care, evidence-based practice and dedication of our nursing team,\” said Joan Clark, DNP, senior vice president and chief nurse executive of Texas Health. \”I'm thrilled so many of Texas Health's star nurses are recognized for their work in setting the conventional of excellence in our profession.\”
The DFW Great 100 Nurses Inc. annually sponsors the \”DFW Great 100 Nurses\” to acknowledge rns in the area who exemplify excellence in the science and art of nursing. The award is unique in that honorees don't have to fit in with a specific professional organization or practice inside a particular clinical specialty to become recognized.
Any rn whose job is within the DFW Metroplex or surrounding counties may be nominated by peers. DFW Great 100 Nurses are ultimately selected with a 30-nurse peer committee, who review the blinded nominations.
Honorees is going to be recognized in the DFW Great 100 Nurses Celebration on April 17 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center.
